January 2005

Alliance Data Systems of Dallas, Texas, completed a year-long evaluation of potential providers of automated certification, verification, and testing applications and selected Lexcel Solutions, Inc., as their supplier for EFT networking, POS and capacity measurement solutions.

Lexcel's experience, industry knowledge, and product functionality made them the overwhelming choice to partner with Alliance Data Systems. Lexcel has the ability to extend solutions and make them available across many groups enterprise-wide. By partnering with Lexcel, Alliance Data Systems can utilize Lexcel’s innovative licensing options so that development, quality assurance, and certification in Texas, Illinois, and Tennessee can use data concurrently from their desktops.

After extensive research and discussions, Lexcel tailored a package of services that supports Alliance Data Systems’ needs in multiple proprietary POS formats, six EFT network formats, support for protocol-specific transaction generation in capacity measurement applications, as well as modeling of actual traffic flows as specific as processing code and “peak mix” of transaction types.
