BORICA-BANKSERVICE AD Gains Real-Time Replication and Synchronization for ATM, Point-of-Sale, and Web-Based Transaction Data
The Bulgarian card payment system operator BORICA-BANKSERVICE AD was founded in 2010 following the merger between BORICA and BANKSERVICE.. It provides the infrastructure for Bulgarian retail and credit and debit card payments. The company develops and operates payment systems that ensure high-quality, reliable, and innovative payment systems between suppliers, customers, and banks. BORICA-BANKSERVICE also develops high-quality software solutions that automate finance-related activities.
BORICA-BANKSERVICE needed to migrate business-critical transaction data from its existing data center to a new facility without data loss or service interruption. The company also wanted to ensure continuous data availability during future maintenance and upgrades and protect against system or site loss for its HP Integrity NonStop Servers and Oracle Databases.
Oracle GoldenGate provides best-of-breed data integration and replication across BORICA-BANKSERVICE’s heterogeneous environment.
