How easy is it to use?
 
This site was created and is managed with ATU.
 
ATU Components
Building a transaction site requires the coordination of a number of hardware and process components.
Components
It is the successful implentation of these that creates most of the cost in a transaction system.

ATU cuts these costs and builds efficiencies by packaging both needed components and processes together in a single, easy to use, system.
 
Hardware Components
ATU is sold as a subscription service (although shrink wrap versions are available) meaning it is run at our locations, on our equipment.

This takes the concern surrounding the equipment and connections out of your organization.

Antaeus maintains the servers, databases, payment gateway connections and secure connections. All of it is available to you with your monthly subscription fee.

Equipment upgrades, monitoring and maintenance are handled by us.
 
Process Components
It is the processes that give ATU the power and make it unique in the industry.

Strong page develelopment tools make it easy to create all kinds of transactions and put them in production quickly -- In many cases, a transaction can be taken from concept to production in under an hour.


The flexibility allows you to use a single ATU subscription to handle multiple transaction types concurrently.

Payment features support credit card, direct bank account charge(ACH) and no payment transactions. These are set at the transaction level allowing you to accept different payment methods for different transaction types.


Interact real time with other systems. Feed information into ATU, or pass completed information out.

Specific component descriptions are below:

Page Development Tools
 
A major advantage offered through ATU is the ability to quickly create your transaction pages.

A transaction page is more than just an HTML form page to collect information. You need the database management, the validation routines and the flexibility inherent in ATU.
 
ATU makes it easy to create a usable transaction in as little as 30 minutes.
The easy to use tools allow you to put information collection objects where you want them. Text entry, radio button selection, check boxes, drop down lists and even hidden fields can be quickly added in the format that you desire so that your transaction acts the way that you need it to.

Fully blend your transactions with the look and feel of your existing web site.

Use templates to save all or part of a transaction page and make modification easy.

Validation is part of any data collection. With ATU, it is easy to verify that the type of information accepted fits the transaction.

Each transaction page can stand alone, or interact with other pages to provide a complete transaction process.

Enable and Disable transaction pages quickly with the click of a mouse. This makes ATU an excellent solution for transaction that are seasonal or change frequently.

Database management is automatic. As you add a field, it is immediately available. You can even preview your pages and run a test transaction while you are creating your page.

Payment Gateways
 
Payment processes are built into ATU. You are able to collect fees via credit card and/or direct charge from a checking or savings account (upon approval). Alternatively, you can create a transaction that collects information, but does not require a payment.

Each transaction sets its own allowable payment methods letting you control the payment methods your customers can use with your transactions.

Credit card authorization is done real time providing immediate feed back to your clients if there is a problem with their card.

Email Communication
 
Numerous email messages can be sent automatically to your customer informing them of the status of their transaction.

Include a live link to the transaction. At any time, your customer can activate the link and obtain their confirmation showing the current transaction status.

Optionally, you can receive a blind copy of the email messages so you know how and when your site is being used.
