Vendor-neutral integration platform
FMT's vendor-neutral platform enables e-businesses to source previously inaccessible real-time data about each user session. This data can be used for real-time decisioning with FMT's solutions. Or, can work with a third-party vendor's applications.
FMT's technology allows application vendors, data providers and developers to
quickly and efficiently deploy their solutions.
The platform requires no API connectors or code integration. By plugging directly into FMT's platform, businesses can reduce implementation time for large IT projects.
Installing in hours, the rules-based enterprise platform deploys in an organisation's existing infrastructure or can be delivered as a pre-built Linux-based appliance. The extensible, flexible, SOA-enabled architecture uses J2EE, XML, PHP and other industry standard tools.
Additional FMT Octopus vendor-neutral integration platform functions include:
Challenge: Online businesses want to introduce risk-based authentication into their applications without modifying the products via code changes.
Solution: FMT Octopus™ prevents fraud by challenging users with additional authentication when they perform high-risk transactions. If a customer performs specified activities (such as paying a large percentage of an account balance to a third-party beneficiary), FMT Octopus challenges the user's action in real time using a built-in two-factor authentication option (SMS, email, mobile phone, etc.). Alternatively, it can redirect to an organisation's existing two-factor methods. Click here to read more.
Challenge: E-commerce organisations require valuable information about the location of their online customers to make effective decisions in real time.
Solution: FMT Octopus™ enables e-businesses to determine from which countries their online customers are logging in. The software interoperates with geo location information vendors to determine which cities and countries users are located. Using this information, FMT Octopus can customise user experiences to enhance marketing, prevent fraud and ensure trade restriction compliance. Click here to read more.
Challenge: E-businesses must constantly verify information through third-party providers. Implementing the services must be quick, and accessing their data sources must be efficient, to mitigate risks and comply with regulatory requirements.
Solution: FMT Octopus™ easily integrates third-party data services, such as credit bureau, geo location and marketing data look-ups, as well as other data verification services. Its vendor-neutral integration platform significantly improves implementation timeframes and provides a single interface to connect, control and manage strategies for external data sources. Out of the box the solution also delivers a wealth of additional capabilities and has the advantage of application layer data visibility to give organisations a competitive advantage that differentiates them in the marketplace.

Challenge: Businesses must measure key performance data for a variety of reasons. Doing this quickly and effectively is the dilemma.
Solution: In addition to measuring individual page response times, FMT Octopus™ highlights performance issues and details submitted data that cause unfavourable situations to occur. In addition, it gives developers tools to locate troublesome application code and provides the root-cause data triggering each specific problem. Database administrators and software developers can use this information to optimise and improve application performance.
Challenge: Many applications are purchased as a packaged solution. Modifications are required, but businesses do not want to directly alter the product or implement code changes.
Solution: FMT Octopus™ can disable or add features to pre-packaged Web products by wrapping around an application. For example, an organisation may wish to add or remove links or perform additional validation. FMT Octopus easily handles customisation without touching the application's code.
Challenge: During testing, e-businesses are often unable to see all of the information moving between customer browsers and applications. Hidden fields may inadvertently be posted back and forth, resulting in security issues and impacting network and application performance.
Solution: FMT Octopus™ inspects all data travelling between browsers and applications during testing - not just the information an application developer selects from the data stream. It quickly and easily exposes all information during testing to help ensure an application complies with security, privacy and performance requirements.
Challenge: E-commerce organisations constantly battle to capture and access information.
Solution: FMT Octopus'™ database access rules can export information to a database for later use or analysis. These exports are fully user defined and can be easily altered and extended.
Challenge: Customising the look and feel of a website to affect users' experiences can help increase customer acquisition, retention and loyalty. How can organisations do this with otherwise static applications?
Solution: FMT Octopus™ can automatically change branding elements affecting a static application. This can be driven dynamically from data captured in real time, allowing businesses to alter the look and feel of applications not designed for this purpose.
Challenge: Businesses must write rules based on massive amounts of data. Trolling through mounds of information to constantly make sub-second intelligent decisions is a challenge. Speed and precision in deployment of rules across a variety of data sources and formats is key.
Solution: FMT Octopus is easy to configure and instantly delivers a fully extendable rules engine. Rules are graphically configured as decision trees and can be tested on an integrated test server. Fully version controlled, the solution can accept input from a large number of data sources and formats (including HTTP, SOAP, XML, CSV and mainframe dumps) to make smarter, real-time contextual decisions.
