Paybox announced the release of the fourth generation of its Mobiliser Platform providing a state-of-the-art Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) as well as a Service Development Platform (SDP) for true dynamic real-time integration and rapid application development of mobile Commerce, mobile Money and mobile Payment relevant solutions to further scale its business.

Based on paybox long-term experience in mobile payments, the paybox Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides mobile Commerce, mobile TopUp, mobile Money and mobile Payment relevant web services (Mobiliser Web Services) based on a robust and proven components architecture. The paybox SOA publishes the Mobiliser Web Services using an open XML- standard-based interface that describes their actions.

"With the Mobiliser Web Services, customers and 3rd parties can integrate the paybox services to create their own distributed mobile Commerce solutions. A customer in Turkey just creates a mobile parking solution this way," states Markus Hueck, Head of Product Development paybox. "Customers can and even add their own customisation plug-ins, for example to store a license plate for a parking application, or to create a connector to a prepaid topup system".

Leveraging the paybox Service Development Platform (SDP), system integrators can even provide the opportunity to develop SMS, USSD and WAP-based solutions with zero-programming. To build applications, they can integrate the Mobiliser Web Services, internal services for campaign, promotion, subscription and content management services or any 3rd party service such as a charging gateway. These services can include P2P transfers, airtime top-Ups, bill payments, movie ticket purchases, content downloads, donations as well as enhanced games (e.g. multi-step quizzes with subscriber rankings, auctions or SMS Contests). Hueck adds: "For Celcom in Malaysia, our local partner just set up a USSD-based mobile Banking solution himself using the paybox SDP".

Connecting the specific knowledge from the mobile Payment business with state-of-the art software development methodologies, paybox offers a tailored SOA and SDP for customers who want to build mobile businesses.
