GO2 Unify is the Java based POA platform for Global Onboarding and Orchestration. GO2 is the platform that takes care of all activities required to be done for onboarding a customer across markets, segments and products. When a customer selects an Amex product from a channel (example americanexpress.com), enters the demographic and other information and clicks submit, the application is passed over to GO2. GO2 takes the application through a series of steps, enriching the same at every step and evaluating for a cancel or decline decision. At the end of processing, the application, if not cancelled or declined, is approved and GO2 then fulfills that application. GO2 also takes care of managing business pends where the customer may need to provide more information in which case the CCPs use the GO2 servicing application to interact with the customer and move the application ahead. This new platform is a BPM platform built using Java and REST services.
