Point Of Sale 2011 Best Channel Products
By Sue Bresee, publisher
Once again, I'd like to take a moment to thank the thousands of VARs who made time to take the survey in May and give us the data needed to create this special report. Without your dedication and thoughtful consideration, we wouldn't be able to produce such a valid, unique study. The Best Channel Products survey this year turned out to be one of our most widely participated in surveys. Thank you!

By PioneerPOS
Sheila Nuth is the Assistant General Manager and Corporate Front of House Trainer at a fine dining establishment called the Springfield Grille in eastern Ohio. The past several years they have been experiencing problems with their POS retail hardware in their restaurants. The Springfield Grille was tired of their hardware constantly failing since the POS systems there were using were over four years old and experiencing frequent failures. One of the main issues why the existing hardware was failing was that they would completely stop working due to overheating issues. The Pioneer POS M5 terminal and Future POS software came to the rescue.

Payment Application Security
By VeriFone
Security of payment card transactions is a paramount issue
to merchant and acquirer alike, whether through a desire to
protect their customers or simply the need to comply with
industry-wide requirements. Payment Application Data Security Standard, or PA-DSS, is the latest component of Payment Card Industry (PCI) standardized requirements established by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC). PA-DSS builds upon and expands best practices established and previously managed by Visa to ensure that software vendors and others develop secure payment applications that do not store sensitive card data.
