Features:

  • A single point of information
  • Multichannel
  • Multilingual
  • Multicurrency
  • High volume processing
  • High security: multiple authentication layers
  • Vendor independent: hardware, back office system, platform

BankWorld Channel Manager operates with the below elements:

The Integration Layer
The Integration Layer is responsible for managing all activities associated with the interaction of BankWorld with single or multiple back-office systems.  Two main activities include authorisation of requests against the back-office and data synchronisation.

The Authentication Manager
The authentication manager enables banks to parameter the level of security of accessing banking services at every point of customer contact. By managing channels in unison, banks reinforce the security by enabling authentication processes across multiple channels.

The Back-Office Integration Server, BOIS
To enable integration, a component needs to be developed which typically converts messages to the format used by the Back Office system.  CR2 refers to this component as a BOIS (Back Office Integration Service).

Gateways
Several XML gateways enable banks to connect their existing channels such as Call Centre or IVR to the channel manager. This way, staff in the call centre also benefit from a single view of the customer activity.

The Channel Manager
The Channel Manager brings together the banks business functionality and the management of the self-service channels into a single place.
