If you currently operate a legacy payment processing system, you ought to be asking yourself the following questions:
Can I implement a new network interface in less than 60 days?
Am I satisfied with my current cost per transaction?
How expensive was our last hardware upgrade?
Do our software license and maintenance fees increase because of hardware upgrades or business expansion?
Is what we are paying in software consulting fees for upkeep of our system seem excessive?
Do I feel like we have to pay a premium price to maintain a OLTP specialist team?
Am I tired of being told that our payment system environment is 'unique' and the changes we need will takes months or years?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you are running a legacy payment system right now, you may be caught in an increasingly indefensible position:
a costly, proprietary architecture; a limited, expensive labor pool; and an increasingly callous software vendor only interested in collecting their annuity from you.

OLS.Switch - Next Generation Payment Switch
OLS has provided real 24x7x365 production support for mission-critical payment systems for over a decade. Using 'best business and technology practices' accumulated from the hundreds of installations we have been involved with, we developed a robust, intuitive, high performance, easily changeable, rapidly implementable payment systems engine we market under the brand name "OLS.Switch".
You can use OLS.Switch to (a) replace your current switch; (b) work in conjunction with your current switch to reduce development costs; or (c) transition from an outsourced to 'in-sourced' solution.
Whether you currently "in-house", "in-source" or "outsource", OLS can devise a risk-mitigated migration plan so you can quickly implement OLS.Switch to replace, or co-exist with, your current payment solution. With OLS.Switch, you can begin reducing your cost per transaction sooner rather than later, resulting in a rapid "mean-time to payback" on your investment.
Why did we develop a new product of this nature for the payments processing market?

Payment system users were was looking for more open, cost effective answers to its payments processing needs and trying to move away from “legacy” OLTP solutions
Collection of best practices for payment systems for retailing, banking, pharmacies, payroll companies.
Payment processing has moved far beyond processing basic bank supplied debit and credit card transactions and is still evolving as on-line processing of the full realm of personal consumption expenditures (PCE) is becoming reality.
The entire IT industry has dedicated significant resources to realizing the benefits available through the use of Linux, Java and other web-oriented open technologies.
Our clients and the many organizations we interface with repeatedly communicated the need for changes to their payments processing environment such as new devices, message formats, network interfaces or industry mandates to be implemented quickly and easily. |
OLS.Switch Success Stories
 |
High Performance
OLS customer benchmarks OLS.Switch at over 300 transactions per second (TPS).
OLS.Switch was benchmarked running on a small PC sever pool using Microsoft Server technology. The benchmark driver reached capacity at a little over 300 TPS and OLS.Switch was still below its maximum capacity. |

|
Ultra High Performance
OLS Customer implements OLS.Switch in custom environment to run 1,000 transactions per second (TPS).
OLS.Switch technology was used by a customer in a special hardware and system software environment to prepare for processing over 1,000 transactions per second. The implementation will eventually be processing up to 2,000 TPS. |
