Case Study: Irish State Education Agency streamlines secure education payments with Tieto

Irish State Education Agency streamlines 225,000 awards with Tieto

Tieto partnered with an Irish state education agency that needed to modernize its payment processes for services like certificate verification and replacement. The challenge was to develop a solution that provided an efficient, accurate, and quick money transfer process while ensuring top levels of system stability, performance, and privacy in compliance with the latest EU regulations.

The solution implemented by Tieto was a cloud-native platform built on Microsoft Azure. It featured a complex serverless architecture, integrated a Secure Hosted Payment Page gateway by Global Payments, and implemented best security practices like 3-D Secure and PSD2. This resulted in instant and accurate online payments for thousands of users, improved operational efficiency, a reduced maintenance load, and full security compliance with European standards like GDPR.
