With its high customer frequency, the Ticket Online Internet portal has links with roughly 800 sales outlets, theater box offices, organizers of cultural and sports events as well as affiliate portals and call centers. It is now to be moved to an ultramodern BEA Web Logic 6.1 e-business platform step by step. Users will be able to order goods and tickets on the new platform on a cross- border and cross-currency basis. NorCom will be supplying the security component of the new e-business solution in the form of NGS BeanGuard. This product complies with the latest J2EE technological standards, allowing ticket vendors, organizers and venue operators to manage access rights efficiently via a central control system. The basis release of the new platform is due to be rolled out at the beginning of 2002. The e-business platform is a latest-generation software product meeting all the business and security requirements of a ticket system of the future. In addition, it offers organizers and venue operators additional sales potential by linking gastronomy, tourism or merchandise products to tickets via a wide range of different distribution channels and using many different forms of payment. NGS BeanGuard forms the integrated security component of the Ticket Online e- business platform, providing the J2EE-based Internet applications with all the functions of the NGS BeanGuard access management system for web applications and portals. Thus, managing authorization and authentication controls is made simple. At the same time, the new system is highly flexible. The security settings are managed and security data updated either centrally via the Ticket Online server or on a local basis by the individual organizers. This ensures maximum simplicity and transparency in the management of rights and responsibilities at all times in spite of the mounting complexity of portals and related systems. The Ticket Online platform has been designed as an open system and comes complete with numerous predefined entry and payment systems as well as reporting functions such as cash ledgers, multichannel campaign analyses, event analyses and the like. Thus, when it came to choosing a security system, priority was given to the ability to integrate external systems and to add new Internet applications and services on an ongoing basis. As NGS BeanGuard is based on the BEA platform, new Internet applications can immediately access the NGS BeanGuard security system without any additional development work being necessary. This saves time and money when new Internet services are rolled out or new business processes integrated. “We looked intensively for a security technology and tested software in extensive analyses. NGS BeanGuard has a decisive advantage in that it is highly scalable and easy to integrate. This means that security is no longer an obstacle when new software is implemented. Using NGS BeanGuard, we are able to keep our customers’ security data updated at all times as the administration component is very transparent and easy to use. This is particularly appealing to our customers as we are able to make broader and individualized web content available,” explained Dr. Klaus Zemke, managing director of Ticket Online GmbH. end of message, (c)DGAP 29.10.2001
