White Paper Explores Benefits of Payments-Platform-as-a-Service, a New Concept Set to Revolutionize Payments Processing

NEW YORK, January 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

New Payments-Platform-as-a-Service model delivers high value to banks, including substantial reductions in the cost of processing payments

DH Corporation (TSX: DH) ("D+H"), a leading provider of technology solutions to financial institutions globally, today published a white paper outlining the market drivers and business benefits of Payments-Platform-as-a-Service, an on-demand, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model for payments processing.

The paper examines how this new innovation allows banks to quickly and easily migrate from what has historically been a set of processes and technologies owned and managed in-house, to an outsourced cloud environment managed by an external provider. Available on an outsourced pay-per-use basis and delivered through a cloud environment, this new model brings all the benefits of performance, faster time to compliance, scalability and flexibility that come with cloud provisioning. The paper also highlights how one European bank estimates they will be able to save up to 60% in payments transaction costs by eliminating the need for hardware, software or specialist payments technical teams.

"It may only take a few forward-thinking banks to transform the entire industry to a point whereby an outsourced model will become a prerequisite of staying competitive."
