Metropolitan Water Works - Alexandria, Virginia
The Metropolitan Water Works Company is the billing and collection division for
the Water District in Alexandria, Virginia. The Metropolitan Water Works is looking
for a way to reduce costs and allow residential customers to pay their monthly bills
via the Internet.
Solution
The Metropolitan Water Works Company needed a more advanced integration solution.
Their web based payment customer interface must be able to interact with their internal
database systems to verify account information, billing cycles, and amount dues
for its customers. So rather than use the Sage Payment Solutions shopping
cart to gather transaction data, they will use the technical specifications to integrate
their own customized interface to the Sage Gateway.
The COM/ATL Object allows the Metropolitan Water Works Company to control all aspects
of their interface and pass transactions for authorization real-time behind the
scenes. All transactions are then accumulated in the Virtual Terminal and
settled automatically at 3:00 AM EST by the Sage Gateway.
