Physical Traceability
CMS enables the organizations to create warehouse and warehouse locations for the different work and storage zones in cash center. Container will always be associated to such a location, and every container movement will be generated and tracked by the system. CMS will always know exactly on which location or on which transport system (e.g. AGV n° 4) the container is located.
The traceable unit is identified in CMS as a UWIP or Unit of Work in Process. Depending on the implementation the UWIP can be a bundle, a strap, a tray, a sack, ...
Bank Security
CMS will enable you to enforce the security procedures in every step of the cash management process. The system supports assignment of operators and supervisors to teams, and enforces registration of ID’s and passwords for custodial transfers.
The complete physical flow will be tracked with different statuses for each UWIP in a container. Each status will symbolize the processing stage of the UWIP. A UWIP can be on a storage location, in transport, in process, suspect, blocked, waiting to be proofed etc. Each transition will only be possible via the CMS system, taking into account the needed user privileges.
This audit and trail capability will lead the way towards a paperless approach. Only this way, a cash center will get the full benefit of automated material handling and storage.
Detailed Scheduling
Scheduling system allows you to turn your customer requests, such as deposits and cash orders, into individual processing and picking orders. The system will use the available capacity to make a feasible plan, respecting shift patterns, maximum lead times and due dates.
Scheduling also prepares a team plan, including availability of resources. The schedule will automatically generate the line-feeding orders from the automated vault to the different processing and paying rooms.
Consolidation and clearance
In order to process the receipts and payments, the CMS system will be integrated with the consolidation and clearance systems that control the daily relation between the central banks and the commercial banks.

Learning Management System
What is e-learning
The term "e-learning" has only been in existence since 1999, when the word was first utilized at a CBT systems seminar. Other words also began to spring up in search of an accurate description such as “online learning” and “virtual learning”. However, the principles behind e-learning have been well documented throughout history, and there is even evidence which suggests that early forms of e-learning existed as far back as the 19thcentury.
With the introduction of the computer and internet in the late 20th century, e-learning tools and delivery methods expanded. The first MAC in the 1980′s enabled individuals to have computers in their homes, making it easier for them to learn about particular subjects and develop certain skill sets. Then, in the following decade, virtual learning environments began to truly thrive, with people gaining access to a wealth of online information and e-learning opportunities.
In the 2000′s, businesses began using e-learning to train their employees. New and experienced workers alike now had the opportunity to improve upon their industry knowledge base and expand their skill sets. At home individuals were granted access to programs that offered them the ability to earn online degrees and enrich their lives through expanded knowledge.
Learning Management System
LMS stands for Learning Management System and it's a global term for a computer system specifically developed for managing online courses, distributing course materials and allowing collaboration between students and teachers. A LMS will allow you to manage every aspect of a course, from the registration of students to the storing of test results, as well as allowing you to accept assignments digitally and keep in touch with your students.
Your LMS may integrate with whiteboard systems for virtual classroom sessions and help you to schedule sessions too. It may offer you the ability to send out invites or reminders for classroom sessions and integrate with an online calendar system or with Outlook.
Testing
Tests are an important part of many online courses and most LMSs will have plenty of functionality related to this. You'll want a robust test environment with various types of tests available to you and some built-in templates to use as a starting point. It's likely that you'll have the ability to randomize test questions and set a time limit for tests. With the test environment being within your LMS, you should also be able to rely on the security of your system. Test results will be stored and available to you within the reporting area of your LMS.

Anti Money Laundering (AML) Software
Anti-money laundering (AML) is a term mainly used in the financial and legal industries to describe the legal controls that require financial institutions and other regulated entities to prevent, detect, and report money laundering activities. Anti-money laundering guidelines came into prominence globally as a result of the formation of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the promulgation of an international framework of anti-money laundering standards. These standards began to have more relevance in 2000 and 2001, after FATF began a process to publicly identify countries that were deficient in their anti-money laundering laws and international cooperation, a process colloquially known as "name and shame".
As a financial institution or other regulated entity Anti-money laundering software will enable your organization to comply with the legal requirements to prevent and report money laundering activities. AML-AZ developed by GTS based on the best practices and regulatory requirements will provide enterprise platform enabling efficient detection, investigation, and reporting of suspected money laundering and suspicious financing activity.

Our solution will liaise with the Central Bank, relevant government agencies, law enforcement officers and representatives from the commercial banking and retail sectors, as well as members of the public. We undertake:
A review of the existing counterfeiting threat including an assessment of:
Current levels and methods of counterfeiting including fraudulent alteration (denomination upgrading)
National and international trends in counterfeiting
The susceptibility of each denomination to counterfeiting
A technical evaluation of counterfeits seized or withdrawn from circulation
Effectiveness of existing security features and methods of detection
Likely sources/provenance of counterfeits
Machine readable requirement for high speed authenticating and processing of notes in circulation
Public education programmes and their effectiveness, identifying banknote features which are particularly ‘noticed’ by the public
The role of national law (deterrence effect)
A review of the durability of banknotes in circulation with particular emphasis on:
How long banknote denominations remain in circulation before being withdrawn
Current fitness standards established by the Central Bank
Reasons for withdrawal of banknotes from circulation
Soiling levels/ general wear and tear per denomination
Difficulties experienced from poor quality banknotes e.g. increased counterfeiting, and cash handling inefficiencies
An increasingly common requirement for Central Banks and their suppliers is the provision of print and substrate laboratory testing and analysis, primarily to insure compliance with industry standards.
Our software deploys out a combination of technical analysis and laboratory testing on all substrates, print processes and security features to ensure compliance with agreed specifications, standards and inter-operability between processes.
Portal for Financial Literacy
In recent years, financial literacy has gained the attention of a wide range of major banking companies, government agencies, grass-roots consumer and community interest groups, and other organizations. Interested groups, including policymakers, are concerned that consumers lack a working knowledge of financial concepts and do not have the tools they need to make decisions most advantageous to their economic well-being. Such financial literacy deficiencies can affect an individual's or family's day-to-day money management and ability to save for long-term goals such as buying a home, seeking higher education, or financing retirement. Ineffective money management can also result in behaviors that make consumers vulnerable to severe financial crises. From a broader perspective, market operations and competitive forces are compromised when consumers do not have the skills to manage their finances effectively. Informed participants help create a more competitive, more efficient market. As knowledgeable consumers demand products that meet their short- and long-term financial needs, providers compete to create products having the characteristics that best respond to those demands. As concern about financial literacy has increased, so too have the number and variety of financial literacy training programs and program providers— some offering comprehensive information on savings, credit, and similar topics for a broad audience and others tailored to a specific group, such as youth or military personnel, or focused on a specific goal, such as home ownership or savings.
Over the past decade, technological advances have transformed nearly every aspect of the marketing, delivery, and processing of financial products and services. The expansion of the Internet as a means of communicating and delivering services has also enabled financial services providers to market financial products and serve customers more efficiently. Communication and delivery innovations increase the amount of information available to consumers and allow them to shop for and choose from a wide array of products and services without geographic limitation. To benefit from the innovations, however, consumers need a base level of financial knowledge, so that they can identify and access pertinent information as well as evaluate the credibility of the source of the information.
GTS financial literacy portal www.bizimpullar.az developed to enhance financial education across the country via education and training materials, animations and lectures, games and dictionaries. In addition, there is a special section for young pre-school and elementary school students.
Agile
Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
This principle from Agile Manifesto is the key point in GTS software development methodology.
Agile methodology is an alternative to traditional project management used in software development. It helps teams respond to unpredictability through incremental, iterative work cadences, known as sprints.
Agile development methodology provides opportunities to assess the direction of a project throughout the development lifecycle. This is achieved through regular cadences of work, known as sprints or iterations, at the end of which teams must present a potentially shippable product increment. By focusing on the repetition of abbreviated work cycles as well as the functional product they yield, agile methodology is described as “iterative” and “incremental.” In waterfall, development teams only have one chance to get each aspect of a project right. In an agile paradigm, every aspect of development — requirements, design, etc. — is continually revisited throughout the lifecycle. When a team stops and re-evaluates the direction of a project every two weeks, there’s always time to steer it in another direction.
Scrum
GTS selected SCRUM from agile to develop our software.
Scrum is the most popular way of introducing Agility due to its simplicity and flexibility. Scrum emphasizes empirical feedback, team self management, and striving to build properly tested product increments within short iterations. Scrum has only three roles: Product Owner, Team, and Scrum Master. These are described in detail by the Scrum Training Series. The responsibilities of the traditional project manager role are split up among these three Scrum roles. Scrum has five meetings: Backlog Grooming (aka Backlog Refinement), Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum (aka 15-minute standup), the Sprint Review Meeting, and the Sprint Retrospective Meeting.
