Third Party Processors receive and process ATM/POS transactions, develop new applications, and certify new products and services for the marketplace.

In-house IT groups need help with managing and controlling changes for new technology, new applications, data requirements, security features, and bi-annual Association mandates at the host application level.

Concurrently, applications need to be developed for the many devices Processor's support. Adding to the complexity, testing and certification processes require Third Party Processors to support multiple types of hardware and software.

Meanwhile, Sales & Marketing drive even more change by adding requirements for new services and "catch-up" functionality, such as Loyalty, Age Verification, EBT, WIC, Check 21, EMV, 3DES, open architecture, IP network, XFS, and IFX.

That's why Third Party Processors partner with and rely on Lexcel's solutions to help them manage their constantly changing environment. Lexcel's non-invasive, on-demand solutions for creating production-like processing environments enable our clients to bring their new or enhanced products to market faster and more efficiently, saving valuable time and money.

Host application developers complete pre-certification testing 30% faster, with fewer errors and less involvement with other internal groups by utilizing Lexcel's solutions. Scripts are generated in hours vs. days (or longer), and are available 365x24x7 on their desktop PC.

QA productivity increased by 50%, over the paper-based manual alternative. More testing completed -- and more thoroughly. In fact, automated script processing and regression analysis allows QA to move to 100% testing of all changes vs. focusing only on the larger projects before they are sent to UAT.

UAT testing on a new release reduced from an average of 80 hours to 8 hours, with full logging of results, including faults initiated from their PC (no response, delayed response, time outs, etc.), plus any regression analysis completed.

The Systems Integration group can effectively exercise the new release by transaction type, by processing code while introducing faults, errors, or delays from their desktop PC.

Lexcel can bring significant value to your organization if part or all of your business involves electronic transactions originating in one location and being processed in another.
