In our recently published eBook entitled Accelerating the Billing & Payment Partner Search: 5 essentials Billers must identify to achieve long-term success, we listed “Integration Flexibility” as the #1 essential. The reason for this is simple: integrations are the official meeting point between an organization, its core information systems, and its billing and payment partner.
This isn’t where the magic happens. This is where the magic starts.
Defining Integration Flexibility
For our purposes, integrations refer to two particular areas—deployment models and compatibility with core operating and customer information systems.
The first question organizations must answer is deciding which deployment model best fits its business and technology needs. Paymentus’ AI-driven SaaS platform is built upon a single code base architecture that can be deployed through the following integration models depending on your business needs:
There are benefits and considerations for each, which ultimately come down to your organization’s setup and internal capabilities. For instance, a fully hosted solution requires zero effort as Paymentus assumes all hosting duties and PCI ownership. Through SDKs, organizations maintain their web portal but are able to offload PCI ownership to Paymentus. API integrations rely on dedicated tech teams within your organization, with organizations assuming all PCI ownership.
Core Systems and Data Integration
Replacing an underperforming billing and payment solution should not necessitate a complete rip and replace of your system. That is why a prime benefit of the Paymentus billing and payment solution is that it offers 450+ integrations with industry-leading core systems, databases, and accounting and ERP systems.
The interoperability offered through these integrations ensures that current business-critical functions, like accounting software or resource management platforms, are maintained without the need for customizations, which can cause gaps and layers that impact performance. The goal is for these technologies to be complementary. The integration flexibility offered by Paymentus ensures connectivity, streamlines reporting, and helps your organization securely scale as its customer data grows.
