THE OLS VALUE PROPOSITION

• We offer value-based pricing that reflects the cost advantages of our open solutions using the latest technologies coupled with multiple delivery options to provide you with the best possible savings.
  
  
• We do not have "unearned" or "surprise" license and support fee up-charges for an installed system when you have a "capacity event" that is due solely to your organization's success and growth.
  
• We continue to excel in 24x7x365 production support. Do your vendors charge you T&M for most on-call support work? We do not. It is included in our overall support package.
  
  
• We chose to create a fresh, innovative payment transaction processing solution that is ground-breaking in design and supports rapid implementation. Our payments solution is hardware-agnostic and can be deployed in your current or planned operating environment to create the most cost-effective payment solution possible for your organization.
  
  
• We offer a transaction processing solution that will meet your current payment processing needs and is flexible enough to satisfy your future requirements as well.
  
  
• We stay agile by focusing on implementation and support, using our partner relationships to augment our engineering and technical consulting efforts. This allows us to focus on risk mitigation of the myriad events that occur during the migration and implementation process.
  
  
• We create and foster a community amongst our users and have build a communication framework which encourages the sharing of best practices.
  
  
• We have assembled a lineup of technology partners that allow us to offer you a flexible set of alternatives and a full end-to-end, enterprise-class payment solution.

TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES

• Tap into recent developments in the IT community that have promoted the maturation of web, Internet and open source products such as Java, Linux, MySQL and .NET to a "industrial-strength" commercial enterprise level.
  
  
• There's an inexorable drive towards standardization of enterprise-class IT on low-cost Intel-based servers. OLS.Switch will put you right in the middle of this movement and show you how to use it so you're not sacrificing your commitment to fault-tolerant operations.
  
  
• Respond to the fact that more and more technology decisions are being made by the CFO, not the CIO. That means there needs to an ROI-type justification for everything. We believe there is a very short payback for an OLS.Switch implementation. We have models to help back up this assertion.
  
  
• Capitalize on any future consolidation in the market. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are a fact of life. When they happen, "system rationalization" (i.e., choosing a survivor from the two payment systems) occurs. Having the Linux-based OLS.Switch solution in place will give you the upper hand in any of these discussions.
