Eontec, a Development Service Provider (DSP) specializing in multi-channel Enterprise Java(TM) component-based solutions and tools for banks and other financial services organizations, announced the availability of its Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) solution set. The WAP solution set allows banks to offer their customers easy and secure access to banking information and other services through mobile phones and other wireless devices, at times and locations convenient to the customer.
BankFrame(TM), Eontec's flagship product, is a multi-channel architecture, an automated Component Assembly Methodology (CAM), and a repository of Java software processes for assembling scalable distributed banking solutions. With BankFrame's processes now available via WAP, banking customers can do such things as balance queries, fund transfer, and bill payment via wireless devices.
BankFrame's layered framework model coupled with its reusable software components can be quickly combined to form banking processes that are built into whole banking solutions. These scalable solutions, delivered via multiple channels, now including WAP, can be assembled, tested, and brought on-line in a relatively short time frame without the excessive costs of starting from scratch.
Eontec's long-time investment in its BankFrame multi-channel architecture has enabled it to bring to market a complete range of WAP banking services ready for the next generation of wireless devices. Eontec company officials say that the ease with which existing banking processes have been made available for use with WAP demonstrates the platform independence, portability, and scalability of a properly architected solution such as BankFrame.
"This offering reinforces the advantage Eontec has over the rest of the software industry when it comes to banking with Java," said Jim Callan, CEO of Eontec. "We've developed our component resources from the ground up so that our solutions can be scaled across the enterprise and through new delivery channels such as mobile phones and wireless devices. The fact that we can now offer fully WAP compatible banking services is further proof of the benefits of the BankFrame multi-channel architecture approach."
WAP is a communications protocol and an application environment that allows mobile devices such as WAP-enabled telephones to connect to and browse the World Wide Web. Nokia predicts that there will be over one billion mobile phone users in the world by 2005--this means that the number of mobile phone subscribers will exceed the number of fixed telephone lines.
