1) Enhanced Transaction Controller (ETC) - handles and manages all financial transactions on behalf of players, customer support and the game system. The ETC enforces all financial limit policies and provides the foundation for fraud detection and prevention. ETC provides no user interface as interaction with users is accomplished via other software components in the system. 2) Network Operations Centre (NOC) acts as a point of escalation for CS for issues relating to production tools and services. NOC provides real time monitoring of the game system and engages all relevant parties when a production issue/failure is detected. NOC is a central point for notifications to all departments in relation to scheduled updates/downtime.
