There is a compelling reason more so now, for open platforms and fit to purpose solutions in the prepaid space. I agree with Anil.
As the market gets more fragmented, specialized offerings which can innovate on legacy and proprietory Store and POS infrastructures have to be driven by open platforms.
We have been driving just that with the Microsoft and Java stacks built on our extendible frameworks.

I think they'll play a significant role throughout electronic payments — not just prepaid. There are just way too many directions in which to innovate for closed-door, "black box" infrastructures and development methodologies to prevail in the long term. The best solutions will be co-created in a collaborative way.
I also think that platforms can be more open from a runtime management perspective — allowing for more broadly defined SLAs throughout a system and a step up in monitoring them. That's something you don't hear much — other than from TxVIa — and definitely part of the future from our perspective.
