Benefits of technology
[0009] The system of the present invention ensures lottery service providers can provide a highly reliable, extremely secure, fast and standardized system enabling all their mission-critical business needs. In addition, through plug-and-play architecture, the system of the present invention ensures a high degree of re-usability, thereby ensuring shorter time to market and providing a cost-effective solution to support the lottery community. In one embodiment of the invention, the system of the present invention can employ the Internet for providing a new range of on-line customer services. The system of the present invention is platform-, operating system- and database-independent and allows for easy integration of third party applications.
Problems solved by technology
While such systems fulfill the requirements of high-performance lottery transaction engines, they do not allow for easy integration with outside networks.
Efforts to port current software applications to alternative hardware platforms have proven costly and time-consuming.
Thus, current lottery systems have difficulty communicating with external networks and non-lottery applications.
