LONDON -- DataCash, a leading UK payment-services provider, has been appointed by IT firm SchlumbergerSema to supply its outsourced solutions for the Cabinet Office's Government Gateway.
The Government Gateway is a secure hub that provides a single point of contact for citizens to access UK government information via the Internet. It enables citizens to communicate and make transactions with the government.
One of the key business drivers in the latest release of the Government Gateway was the need to support all combinations of payment from citizens to government, business to government and intra government. DataCash will provide the secure, outsourced payments technology that supports the Gateway's ability to process payments made by credit and debit card, as well as direct debit and direct credit.
SchlumbergerSema provides systems integration and managed services for the Government Gateway and, in order to procure those services, has contracted DataCash to provide its card and direct debit-payment services.
