Chess is thé specialist in the field of innovative systems and critical
solutions. In a market with a high demand for cost reduction and better manageability,
Chess provides complete solutions within its software development centre and product design
& development centre, including its own components if necessary. Chess is based in Haarlem
in the Netherlands, with a supporting office in Best, which supports the clients among the
top 100 companies in the Netherlands.
Following the aspects of required project outcome EXECOM had to organize
knowledge transfer for team members. With great help and complaisance of Chess’ engineers
the first problem was solved – software development team had a clear cognition of
application that needed to be created and systems that had to be customized.
After deep analysis decision was clear – solution had to imply three tier configuration,
consisting of BL (business layer), DB (database), four interfaces (web site GUI, post office
API, call centre API, retailer API) and VAS customization. Knowing that web site and VAS are
web applications, post office and call centre are back office applications and retailer is a
web service, it was possible to set up 1 server for all ordering channels. Besides the basic
configuration the system needed to include component that communicates with PURE ROUTER –
Chess product for managing secure online payments through web interface. Using PURE ROUTER
interface and users have insight in their virtual accounts and perform transactions.
Therefore, after the deployment of four channels for ordering cards, communication with VAS
and BL needed to be rationalized in order to complete the process. According to the fact
that in VAS system card number and email address of the customer are equivalent to login
names user may use any of them to log in. once the logging is done user is able to have
insight in his virtual account, perform transactions and even transfer spared amounts of
money to his bank account.
The whole project demanded great flexibility of EXECOM team and was delivered on time, with
minimum time constraints. It was low cost and performed with maximum professionalism of both
sides.
