The new
standard, specifically for the online gaming industry, will simplify system
integration between content suppliers and platform providers.
The Third Party Interface will also present savings by providing a single API –
the commands and tools programmers use to create software - avoiding the use of
multiple proprietary interfaces.
Chris
Hobbs, director of corporate affairs at Microgaming, a GSA Platinum Member
company, said: "We have evaluated the TPI standard and believe it has the
potential to be a valuable tool for Microgaming. In particular, use of the TPI
should bring about a number of benefits, and we are looking forward to working
within GSA's Technical Committee to help drive additional functionality in
support of our business objectives."
Francesco
Rodano, chief policy officer for Playtech, added: "As a Platinum Member of GSA,
Playtech has taken a leadership role in development of the TPI. This interface
will simplify and expedite integration efforts with content providers as well as
potentially reduce ongoing maintenance and support.”
"We have
been alpha testing this solution with very positive results and look forward to
working within GSA's Technical Committee to continue driving additional
functionality in support of our business objectives," Rodano added.
GSA
anticipates that TPI will be released before the end of 2017.
