A CLOSER LOOK AT TSYS’ TECHNOLOGY
WITH RICK USSERY

Is the industry catching up to TS2 in terms of technology?

One of the key designs to TS2 is its open and modular architecture. This enables us to enhance and add functionality to the system without interfering with the other components. Older systems simply cannot duplicate this technology. As long as the industry works within the confines of the legacy environment, we will continue to enhance TS2 and maintain our leadership status.

What has TSYS done to show its commitment to technology this year?

We introduced new commercial and debit card-processing systems based on TS2 technology. We are in the midst of modifying our TS2 platform to accommodate the Asian characters necessary to do business in that region. Every year, we make significant enhancements to the core system to keep it ahead of the industry.

What is TSYS’ technology vision for the next few years?

We are engaged in a research and development effort to meet the demands of issuers for real-time, around-the-clock delivery of information via the Web, cell phones and PDAs. Our technology vision centers on a new dimension of TS2 that leverages its many strengths. By combining advanced hardware, software and network capabilities, the next phase in the evolution of TS2 will offer clients true 24-hour availability and instant recovery of information.This will provide us with a greater differentiation in the competition among card processors. We believe there will be nothing like it in the industry.
