Enhancing Speed and Scalability In today’s digital-first economy, speed is critical. TANGO V8 delivers a 25% increase in performance compared to its predecessor, ensuring transactions are processed more efficiently than ever before. This not only improves customer experience but also reduces operational costs for financial institutions. Additionally, the scalability provided by our advanced distributed computing and cloud integration enables organizations to handle peak transaction loads with ease, ensuring uninterrupted service during high-demand periods. TANGO V7 laid the foundation for powerful transaction processing, and with TANGO V8, we have expanded its capabilities to fully incorporate distributed computing, supporting both cloud-based and on-premise deployments. TANGO V8 introduces full clustering support, message routing enhancements, and Kubernetes compatibility. This flexibility ensures institutions can leverage automated scaling and optimize resource allocation based on real-time demand. Driving Industry-Wide Digital Transformation With the rise of digital payments, financial institutions must adopt technology that supports flexibility and modernization. TANGO V8’s microservices-driven architecture allows organizations to deploy services independently, fostering continuous innovation and faster time-to-market for new financial products. By enabling seamless inter-pod communication and supporting Kubernetes-driven lifecycle management, TANGO V8 ensures that financial institutions remain agile in an ever-changing market. Building upon the robust routing capabilities of TANGO V7, TANGO V8 introduces a refined message routing system that enhances efficiency. The implementation of a new “pub/sub” topology improves scalability and fault tolerance while maintaining the proven reliability of previous versions. The new message router service dynamically routes messages based on availability and traffic conditions, optimizing overall system performance. Strengthening Security and Compliance The financial industry operates under strict security and regulatory requirements. TANGO V8 reinforces data protection through its adoption of the latest cryptographic libraries, including OpenSSL 3 and OpenLDAP. The platform’s redesigned network session and transport layers further enhance security, ensuring compliance with evolving industry standards. TANGO V7 provided a strong security framework, and TANGO V8 builds on that foundation with enhanced encryption, real-time monitoring, and external plugin support for tools like AppDynamics. These improvements allow institutions to gain deeper visibility into their system performance, enabling proactive issue resolution and enhanced regulatory compliance. Fostering Financial Inclusion and Innovation As global markets shift towards digital and mobile payments, financial inclusivity becomes more critical. TANGO V8 enables institutions to expand their reach by supporting diverse payment channels, from traditional banking services to fintech innovations. Its advanced routing and clustering capabilities empower financial service providers to deliver seamless, secure, and scalable payment solutions to underserved regions, thereby bridging the gap between traditional banking and modern financial services. Conclusion: Shaping the Future of Payments Our product, TANGO V8, represents more than just an upgrade—it is a strategic evolution designed to reshape the payments landscape. By building upon the strong foundation of TANGO V7 and introducing cutting-edge enhancements, we empower financial institutions to stay ahead of industry trends and customer expectations. With improvements in performance, cloud capabilities, security, and routing efficiency, TANGO V8 ensures that financial institutions are prepared for the next wave of digital transformation. As the world moves towards a fully digital economy, Lusis Payments remains committed to providing innovative solutions that drive progress and redefine the future of payments. To learn more about how our product, TANGO V8, can transform your payment processing capabilities, contact: Brian Miller General Manager Lusis Payments 315 Montgomery Street #900 San Francisco CA 94104 (+1) 415 829 4577 [email protected] www.lusispayments.com TANGO is the world's most performant Retail Payments solution with benchmark tests demonstrating 10,000 transactions per second. Built using a micro-services architecture, TANGO is also feature-rich and easily extensible. Backed by Lusis' proven track record it is not surprising that more and more organizations are swapping out their legacy payments infrastructure for TANGO. TANGO is the culmination of decades of crafted engineering that ensures the maximum operational performance and reliability as well as the most affordable cost of ownership. For example, TANGO includes a Self-Monitoring and Auto-Spawning feature whereby a suite of timers can be configured to monitor the processing time for specific events. By comparing the real-time measurements against the defined norms TANGO can immediately identify bottlenecks as soon as they occur. TANGO can also be configured to automatically spawn new instances of the affected micro-service or process thereby ensuring the required throughput is maintained. TANGO uses the Docker containerization platform and a typical deployment uses the 5-Container model shown below. Significantly, the container boundaries are defined to simplify manageability. For example, the gateways and firewalls are combined in a single container to simplify PCI certification tasks. Equally, the monitoring and other tools are located in a dedicated container to ease system evolution. This approach has numerous benefits, not least of which is that it is well proven and supports the easy and secure use of cloud infrastructure. However, in this model, container creation is still a manual process. Consequently, Lusis has expanded TANGO's container model to deliver the full elastic scalability advantages of a cloud-native environment.
As the end of the year draws near we would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our clients, partners and teammates for an extraordinary year, amidst the challenges of the global coronavirus pandemic which has affected families, businesses and communities. Our thoughts go out to anyone who has been impacted by the virus especially those who are sick, we extend our heartfelt wishes for a full recovery.
We have always said “we hold our clients central to our thinking and our actions” and that statement holds true this year more than ever. The success of Lusis Payments is based on the relationships we have built over the years, and we really wouldn’t be where we are without you. Over this past year, as more and more North American financial institutions have called upon Lusis Payments for our technology and services we added our first North American support center in Toronto Canada and have made NA our primary market. Until this year, Lusis had only sales and consulting teams in North America. The addition of this facility and the team assembled will dramatically accelerate new and current project deployments of TANGO. The need for a cutting-edge, real-time fraud solution has never been so critical as it is now. The world has seen an unprecedented switch from CP (cardholder present), CNP (cardholder not present) to online transactions, which has massively changed the patterns of fraudulent activity for OLTP (online transaction processing). Our clients that process online payments needed the agility to rapidly counteract this industry swing. This year Lusis introduced TANGO AI Fraud (Tango AIF™) to provide a leading-edge solution for fraud monitoring, detection and action — technology that provides the latest methods for processing secure transactions, irrespective of source, nature or market segment. The development has followed years of dedication by our Artificial Intelligence department, created in 2017. As part of our continued dedication to AI, earlier this year Lusis created a research chair in partnership with CentraleSupélec a prestigious French graduate engineering school of Paris-Saclay University. Through this partnership, Lusis and CentraleSupélec are strengthening their collaboration in the field of artificial intelligence applied to the banking sector. This summer Lusis also announced further expansion as we increased our presence in Mexico and select countries of Latin America. We were excited to introduce Mercedes Fabila as the newest addition to our sales executive team. Fabila joined the company as the Director of Sales, Mexico and Latin America. Our most exciting news for the year was the new release of TANGO Version 8. TANGO V8 is a major upgrade that provides full microservice integration and complete Cloud capacities. The new features bring expanded capacities and even greater flexibility for delivery. Please contact us directly for a one-on-one presentation of TANGO’s full capabilities and new capacities. Recently, we were able to interact with several clients, partners and friends during the Virtual NonStop Technical Bootcamp. Through zooms or instant messages, we were happy to answer questions and be able to say hello to colleagues in the industry. Our presentation “Today’s Payments Market: Creating Opportunities from Challenges” is still available for viewing through the Whova app. As the new year approaches, we know there will be many new challenges ahead. We welcome all that 2021 has in store for us with enthusiasm and anticipation for all the opportunities around the world. From the whole team at Lusis Payments we wish you all Happy Holidays! |
