RBC-RBTT is replacing their credit cards processing system from Vision Plus to TS Prime.
TS Prime provides facility to interface with external applications/systems, but the format of
i nterface files are not fully supported “As is” by TS Prime. However TS Prime will continue to
p rovide the interfaces for some Batch and all the real-time interfaces. For all other batch
i nterfaces, Batch In tegration Service (BIS) is commissioned by RBC-RBTT to act as an
i ntermediate layer between the existing applications and TS Prime.
