   In yesterday's notebook entry, I noted how the VAR and ISV community has shown an increased interest in payment processing. One thing I forgot to mention, that I'm very proud of, is Business Solutions recently appointed status of Premier VAR/ISV Publishing Partner for this Annual Meeting and Expo. Walking the floor of ETA, I take my job and this designation very seriously as the source for information on the payments industry that's specifically applicable to VARs and ISVs.
2. ETA Annual Meeting Day 1: Mobile Payments and PCI

   Over the past few years, as VARs and ISVs have shown increasing interest in incorporating payment processing into their portfolios, Business Solutions magazine has responded with an increase in coverage of the payment processing space. For me, this increased coverage has culminated with my first trip to the ETA Annual Meeting and Expo. As with our editorial aimed at providing VARs and ISVs education on important topics pertaining to card processing and security, it's my hope that this event will yield information you find valuable.
