PCI
requires merchants to protect credit card numbers on their system by encrypting
all card numbers. Gateway Solutions has developed a way for customers to meet
these requirements without making changes to their existing programs, and with
little or no ongoing customer intervention or maintenance. This package uses 168
bit Triple DES encryption to secure TLF, ALT_TLF, BCF, ACV002, TDV002, DDV002, CCV002,
report files, switch report files, and other files as the customer or auditors deem
necessary. It uses configuration files so customers can specify which files
they choose to encrypt. It also comes with a batch file conversion program for
encrypting and decrypting any non ON/2 related files they wish to secure. Since
files are encrypted on the disk, all tape backup are secure as well. The system
is fully compatible with the Ingrian hardware key management devices to ensure
secure key value generation and storage.
In order to ensure a secure
environment for retail point of sale (POS) transactions PCI standards have
required merchants to enhance their security methods. One way to ensure this is
secure communications from the POS system to the Host. GSI has developed an
SSLV3 interface that allows customers with older Stratus systems (models prior
to VOS Continuum PA8XXX series) to run an SSL environment without the need to
purchase the Stratus OpenSSL package, or upgrade their hardware. This allows
customers to save money by not having to upgrade hardware, upgrade O/S
versions, buy additional software from Stratus or
application providers. It also avoids the need to pay additional license fees
to application providers because they may have their license fees are based on
hardware implemented. There is no need to disrupt your current environment or
delay other projects since hardware and software upgrades aren't required. The
result is a secure environment at minimal cost, and with minimal disruption.
Providing customers with a way to save on gas has been a popular incentive to get customers shopping at your store. We can create the interface necessary and implement the new transaction types and transaction flows to ensure this happens seamlessly for your orgranization. Implementing a fuel discount program can generate an additional $50,000 for every one hundred stores helping boost your sales and compete effectively with big box rivals.
If you are currently running
ON/2 from S2 Systems, on a Stratus X/AR or Continuum system, you may be losing
significant horsepower due to misaligned data structures.By installing the
Gateway Solutions Alignment Fault Wrapper package, you can realize
significant performance improvements, and delay
costly future hardware upgrade purchases. This package automatically
aligns data structures, without any changes to your current source code. Paul
Green, an original author of VOS, and current Stratus CAC employee, recognized
the need for a package like this. We will measure current alignment faults in
your system, using your current production code. wewill then install our package and
perform the same measurements after installation. Your actual results, using your code,
will be documented for your information and approval. We can prove the
performance enhancement, and document the reduction in number of alignment
faults!
Customer convenience and
lower costs are always on every retailers mind. Gift Certificates help ensure
future sales and customer loyalty, provide a mechanism for charity
organizations to raise money, and provide another convenience to offer your
customers. An GiftCard offers these same
advantages, while lowering the costs involved for materials, records keeping,
and in-lane transaction time. Gateway Solutions has implemented GiftCard systems for
our customers, and they have realized these benefits. Whether you are considering a
private label card, or universal GiftCard, we can
help you ensure you remain competitive with others in your area. For private
label cards, we can either provide a switch interface to major GiftCard service beauraus such as
Valuelink, or implement a system that allows you to
control everything 'in-house'. For universal type giftcards
such as those offered by companies like Safeway, we can provide the
connectivity and reporting required to make this service availble
to your customers. Contact us for a system that meets your exact requirements.
While credit losses for bad
cards are no longer an undue hardship for blind stand in, wouldn't it be nice
to know your liability is limited during the time when you must do this? That’s
where intelligent stand in, makes sense. By validating BIN files, having the
option to validate check cashing status, and or frequent shopper status, and the
ability to limit overall stand in liability you can sleep easy, while your
customers continue to enjoy using their payment of choice.
When an unexpected network
outage occurs, your customers shouldn't have to suffer. YOU shouldn't have to
take unnecessary risks to prevent this. That’s where a stand in debit
system can keep both you and your customers happy. We allow you several options
to minimize your risk while standing in for a network that is unavailable for
any reason. We allow you to choose to stand in only for your customers with
loyalty or check cashing cards, or only for a customer in a valid bin range for
that network. We can also set limits for individual customers, as well as for
the entire system to limit your liability. With these safeguards in place, you
can ensure the good customers walk away happy, while still being able to rest
assured write-offs will be very minimal. We have implemented systems using both
master session and DUKPT encryption, and have been given certification by NYCE
that the system is within network security standards.
