Oasis Technology And Datawest To Form Centre Of Excellence

VANCOUVER, BC and TORONTO, ON – Datawest Solutions Inc., a leading Canadian outsourcer of online and Internet banking and ePayment services to the financial services industry, and Oasis Technology, a leading developer of ePayment technology for mobile commerce, the Internet and the real world, announced the joint creation of a Centre of Excellence. The COE, a Datawest organization, recognizes the company’s substantial experience in installing, enhancing and operating Oasis’ leading ePayment solutions.

The Oasis COE program recognizes global ePayment technology leaders certified in the delivery, installation and maintenance of Oasis products, and provides a core set of technology resources and Oasis-trained service professionals. To facilitate timely deployment and operation of Oasis solutions, COE companies around the world may support existing distributors in the region of operation, or assume direct sales activities in conjunction with the provision of professional services. Datawest is the first recognized Oasis COE in North America.

“For more than 10 years, Oasis has demonstrated technology vision and leadership by delivering quality ePayment processing solutions to our customers worldwide,” said Ashraf Dimitri, president and CEO of Oasis. “With proven centres of ePayment industry expertise like Datawest, our Centre of Excellence program is helping to extend the reach of ePayment solutions for mobile commerce, the Internet and the real world. As a certified COE company, Datawest will provide the highest level of Oasis product knowledge to a rapidly growing base of customers, and will be well positioned to meet the needs of the growing ePayments services market in North America and elsewhere in the world.”

Datawest currently supplies ePayment services through electronic funds transfer (EFT) processing to more than 50 Canadian financial institutions using the Oasis suite of ePayment products to support a regional network of more than 230 automated teller machines (ATMs) in Western Canada. In addition, through a platform using the inter-member network (IMN) transaction processing application supplied by Oasis, Datawest is completing the requirements to offer traditional and non-traditional financial services organizations direct connection to Interac, Canada’s national ATM and point-of-sale (POS) network, as part of the company’s national expansion initiatives.

North America is experiencing tremendous growth in the use of electronic delivery of financial services – through rapidly growing Internet and mobile channels, as well as established channels such as ATMs and direct debit. Today’s consumers expect easy, convenient access to their funds and other financial services wherever and whenever they need them. The Datawest COE will help to bring the most advanced ePayment solutions to market faster, further accelerating consumer acceptance of new channels for financial management.

“The creation of an Oasis Centre of Excellence at Datawest is a natural extension of our current EFT switching business, building on the knowledge we have gained by developing, implementing and operating Oasis technology in our own switching and Interac connector environments,” said Anthony R. Martin, Datawest president. “We are excited to have been chosen by Oasis to launch this important program which follows a similar professional services model that Datawest has employed with great success in banking system implementations internationally.”

“Our designation as a Centre of Excellence for Oasis gives Datawest an excellent opportunity to build on our strengths as an application services provider in the North American financial services market, particularly in the rapidly growing area of ePayment delivery channels,” said Darryl J. Yea, Datawest chairman and CEO. “This initiative will also create new opportunities for the sale of our online and Internet banking and ePayment outsourcing services.”
