The Future of Transaction Processing

I have been analyzing the future of transaction processing platforms, the history and the future. OK so that is my obsession, what’s next for everything.

So the history of transaction processing was almost eclipsed by the banking sector which did not really understand how tech was disrupting financial services. They still don’t which is OK.

Paypal emerged because the banks missed the e-commerce trend. Credit cards are and were the Trojan horse that was “good enough” for the banks to play and still today control enough of the space though this is changing fast.

Some of the players I have been looking at such as Apollo, Oracle, Amazon, Google, HP, Compass are interesting. But new players using smart method patents that use automatic online analytics and estimators for complex shipping and transactions like Compass and Paid seem more like the nextgen winners like Amazon.
