The Guerdon Solutions technology platform encompasses three sub systems: customer service, control tables and parameters, and batch processes. The customer service subsystem includes:
This secure, tiered architecture enables system functions and databases to run on multiple servers, with automated load balancing and data routing. The platform accommodates leading databases such as Oracle, SQLServer, MySQL and Informix, with no size constraints.
File structures and batch file interfaces are implemented in XML, which enables transaction data to be received in near realtime (right time) from virtually any source including bank EDI, merchant POS, and credit card processing networks such as FDR, MAPP and Envoy. Control table functions are compatible with the Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems.
This highly flexible platform provides a single system of record, eliminating data synchronization issues while enabling consolidated reporting capabilities. It easily configures to add programs, support spend-based promotions with bonus points and evaluate test cells. Data is refreshed daily to enable cardholder inquiry or redemption. Transaction detail can be viewed online in real time.
NAP of the Americas is outside the FEMA 500-year flood zone and its physical security features include:
NAP of the Americas operating procedures are similarly robust. They meet the internationally recognized Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) 70. SAS 70 certifies that the Terremark NOC control objectives and activities have been examined by an independent accounting and auditing firm. NOC control activities include:
