Touchstone
How does it work and where does it fit?
Touchstone can be made available in the following ways:
SaaS - with the application being hosted in either our environment, or the banks' and providing web service responses to calls from your customer portal. This can be done using either xml calls or .jar files that allow you to embed any of the functionality within our application that you wish to use directly into your portal. Anything you do not want can simply be discarded.
Application - if you want, you can take the entire application and integrate directly with your existing portal or replace it. Obviously, this will take longer and is a project that will require an implementation team.
Using .jar files and xml output, we would expect you to be able to integrate the major features of Touchstone into your portal within 4-6 weeks, with another 4 weeks of testing to go live. Within 10 weeks we would expect you to be reaping the benefits.
In the event of your embedding the entire application then we would expect that it should take around 13 weeks, with a 4 week testing cycle, so approximately 17 weeks in total.
