Turning T2/T2S Consolidation postponement into an opportunity

Milan – February, 27 2025 Worldpay, a global leader in payment solutions with a presence in 146 countries and the processing of over 50 billion transactions annually, and TAS, an Italian ICT company specializing in payment systems and transaction processing, announce a new partnership to simplify and broaden access to digital payments to the Public Administration.

A strategic partnership to offer merchants a turnkey solution for integrating pagoPA payments into their applications, thereby expanding opportunities for citizens and businesses.

The integration of Worldpay’s acquiring and processing solutions with TAS’s PayTAS platform enables merchants, app developers, and payment service operators to join the pagoPA network and easily offer the collection and payment functionalities of pagoPA, without the need to develop complex infrastructures. Already adopted by numerous banks, payment institutions, and many prominent public entities and creditors, PayTAS is a platform that streamlines the collection process and digitizes payments to the Public Administration and other entities participating in the pagoPA system. It facilitates connection to this system, both as a Technology Partner and as a Payment Service Provider (PSP).

“The collaboration with Worldpay allows us to extend the value of PayTAS and offer, even to third-party operators, a turnkey solution for pagoPA payments that can be easily integrated on online channels, physical networks, mobile devices, and state-of-the-art physical POS systems. With Worldpay, we are also working on introducing innovative payment processes and tools,” said Stefano Macchi, Technical Sales Representative at TAS.

“Thanks to this integration, anyone wishing to offer payments within the pagoPA network will be able to do so simply and without technical complexities, thereby expanding the available channels for citizens and businesses while ensuring competitive rates”.“Working with TAS and pagoPA is an important milestone, as it makes Worldpay part of the change and innovation in digital payments to the Public Administration. The advanced security and speed of transactions ensure a smooth and satisfying payment experience, affirming the cutting edge of our payment solutions.”— Phil Brown, Country Manager Italy and Malta, Worldpay.

TAS Iberia is launching the R&D&I PIELSEN project, which will develop a 3D homeostatic enveloping architecture to create a sensitive, intelligent, adaptive, and safe skin for building facades.

The body's ability to self-regulate to maintain internal balance in response to changes in the external environment is known as homeostasis. Human skin is a complex system that regulates the exchanges that occur between the internal organism and the external environment, whether they are thermal, acoustic, tactile, etc. As aids to this homeostasis, clothing and architecture must compensate for any differential that causes biological imbalance.

In this way, architecture is conceived as the human response to the aggressive factors of the environment in order to create conditions that make inhabiting a territory possible. The facades' envelopes are designed to fulfill a role similar to that of skin. They must always be designed to provide a coordinated response through interconnection with the rest of the building system’s components, generating an interstitial space between elements that can be understood as a homeostatic skin, reacting according to its environment and preserving the interior conditions of the dwellings, thus ensuring the habitability and health of the occupants.

From this premise comes the R&D&I project "PIELSEN: 3D Homeostatic Enveloping Architecture to create sensitive, intelligent, and adaptive skin for building facades," funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities under the 2017 Retos-Colaboración call. TAS Iberia, a leader in software, financial services, and sectors requiring a high level of communication and network security, has excellence partners including: FCC Construcción; Camilo José Cela University; and the Polytechnic University of Madrid through the Energy Efficiency and Internet of Things group of the Comprehensive Domotics Center (CeDInt-UPM). The project is expected to be developed over 36 months (2018-2020).

The PIELSEN System provides a new architectural element that is technically and economically viable, developed with a concept between bioclimatic architecture and Smart building. This is highly sought after today by a society increasingly aware of environmental issues, sustainability, and nature, leading to the development of solutions not only in the field of architecture and construction but also advancements related to their impact on health, well-being, the environment, energy resources, and technological innovation.

The goal is to create a skin, pores, and folds for buildings that can even generate their own energy (solar, wind, electrostatic, wind, piezoelectric...), integrating as a smart and innovative construction solution aimed at a market that reduces costs for end consumers, increases the use of clean energy, and focuses on studying the following innovations.

The research project aims to develop cutting-edge technological topics with future projection, including: cryptosystem security, closed blockchain, IoT systems based on SOA architectures, embedded devices, new sensors and biometric systems, environmental monitoring, FPGA RF/5G/IP, cloud control with Artificial Intelligence systems (AI, Machine Learning & Deep Learning), smart envelopes, Smart Cities, and Smart Building.
