Linux FlyBuys into financial transactions
Linux may be an operating system synonymous with a flightless bird, but Loyalty Pacific, the company behind popular retail loyalty and rewards program FlyBuys, has announced it will jet its infrastructure to open source software.
A joint venture between Coles Group and National Australia Bank, Loyalty Pacific began in 1994 to manage customer loyalty initiatives under the FlyBuys and MYERone brands. Today, the company claims more than 2.8 million Australian "households" are actively using FlyBuys cards each month.
Loyalty Pacific is using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 across both FlyBuys and MYERone brands, with the platform the basis of its database servers, which house membership data for millions of customers, according to the company. RHEL is also serving the dedicated member Web site.
