In what appears to be an interesting example of agile development, this Forbes article discusses a collaboration between developers at Visa and Oracle.
Since the article indicates a July start and now an October pilot, we assume some sort of scrum effort between the teams, with a ‘to be available soon’ tag for Visa Direct as a payment option for Oracle clients using one of the company’s ERP systems, which typically will provide either some direct payables functionality or integrate with 3rd party payables automation software:
‘Fueled with snacks, drinks, and cloud computing, the developers dug in, building a payment prototype that helps businesses better manage their cash flow and pay their suppliers and contractors quickly. About two months later, what was an idea is now a pilot product that will soon be available through Oracle ERP software, including Oracle ERP Cloud, Oracle E-Business Suite, JD Edwards, EnterpriseOne, PeopleSoft and Oracle NetSuite, powered by Visa Direct, Visa’s real-time push payments platform.’
