BRIDGE:deploy

BRIDGE:deploy provides a radical new architecture and execution environment for Microsoft Windows and other open standards based ATM networks.

A BRIDGE network supports the deployment and execution of a loosely coupled set of services rather than a single monolithic application.These services combine to create personalised and dynamic customer applications. Individual 'service bundles' are created and tested by other products within the BRIDGE suite. BRIDGE:deploy introduces and executes these 'service bundles' in a physical network and lays at the end of the BRIDGE suite production line.

BRIDGE:deploy provides a base set of system service bundles that can be used as the launch pad for the rapid deployment of a full custom solution. Base services include support for the latest EMV and IFX standards.

Instant 'hot deployment' of new service bundles is possible without requiring a restart of the ATM.These services can be removed from the network as easily as they can be introduced allowing short-term promotions to be offered when required. BRIDGE:deploy is fully scalable with no theoretical limit to the number of terminals or services in a network. Terminal interactions can be as simple or complex as you wish.

BRIDGE:deploy uses rules to define what services are available and under what circumstances at particular ATMs. This allows each ATM to provide a dynamic customer experience based on combinations of factors such as cardholder profile, time of day, location and many more. Services are automatically retrieved from a Web Server based on a service profile created by BRIDGE:author.

Open standards are a key tenant behind the design of BRIDGE:deploy. The management of 'service bundles' and the distributed nature of the network are based on proven open standards software. These generic open standards products are already being used extensively in other industries to deliver bundled content to large populations of customer clients. The use of this technology in ATM networks is unique to BRIDGE:deploy.
