As historically one of the most fragmented, siloed infrastructures found in business, payments has the opportunity to lead the way to a better digital economy.
Forward-thinking leadership teams are the ones who will break the tradition of selecting one service without the flexibility to adapt as business needs change. These payments teams instead select the right mix and combination of solutions for their needs at that moment, and benefit from the ability to flexibly shift, add and experiment.
An effective payments strategy is built on working with the right payment partners. That might be a fraud detection vendor that specializes in your industry, or a merchant or platform that your customers want you to transact with. Or it could mean testing a new and exciting technology that has the potential to be groundbreaking for your business.
Amazing new business models are emerging every day. For example, we see new platforms closing the gap between customers and businesses, and helping merchants to execute business online faster. The organizations that can quickly leverage these new technologies are the ones that will succeed. As we know, the limiting factor in many cases is the ability to build, support and maintain the complex integrations needed to take full advantage of these new technologies.
Payments orchestration helps every participant — from merchants and platforms, to payment gateways and related services — to securely connect and transact. Successful digital businesses orchestrate payments to leverage the right services that deliver the right payments experience for their customers every time, regardless of where they are or what their needs may be.
