ePayPro API Offers Subscribers Secure Online Payment Options | Feb 27 '09 |

February 27, 2009, Los Angeles, CA -- NWI introduced ePayPro, a real-time, easy to use Paypal-to- DISCUS/ADMARC API that clients can implement with little effort and no complex Web programming. ePayPro can also be customized to support other merchant servicers like CyberSource and Skipjack. ePayPro manages all steps of the process including Payment Authorization, Payment Processing, and posting to DISCUS/ADMARC.

By offering PayPal as a payment option on the in-house Self-Service site, a partner site, or via email, publishers have the potential of gaining additional revenue from a younger demographic accustomed to PayPal and other online payment options. Also, by giving customers who have security concerns the confidence to make timely payments online, publishers can reduce late payments.

ePayPro is also available as a Hosted Service, with NWI managing the entire process. Using the Hosted Service option, clients simply make secure remote calls to ePayPro with no need for installation or on-going maintenance.

NWI Announces Release of ADMARC and DISCUS eSUITE Applicatiosns | Jan 27 '09 |

January 27, 2009, Los Angeles, CA – NWI announced its strategic approach of developing “plug n’ play” eApplications (“eApp”) for its ADMARC and DISCUS products, opening up NWI applications to the Web. The “plug n’ play” strategy ensures that the flexibility for which NWI’s products are known will be maintained as they are Web enabled. eApps will be released as they are developed, an approach that will allow NWI to incorporate users’ requirements during the initial development cycle, minimizing the need for custom enhancements later.
NWI eSUITE Applications are comprised of three components: CAPI, the eGUI, and eApps. The first eApp slated for ADMARC is Enhanced Cash Application. Existing eApps for DISCUS are the CAPI Console and the Dispatch Application. A third DISCUS eApp, Vendor Rates, is currently under development and is expected to be released in the third quarter of 2009.
