This paper explores how implementing pre-processing as a single, strategic layer in the payments value chain improves agility and resiliency.

This paper highlights:

- The concept of decoupling the value chain, and why pre-processing should be implemented as a single, strategic layer
- How smart routing based on dynamic rules and customer profiles can be implemented faster, enabling additional value-added services
- How to develop a foundation for smart routing using a modern payments architecture
