Verifone introduces e-payment platform

BANGALORE: Verifone, a division of Hewlett Packard, has introduced its global
e-payment platform, which provides a new level of performance and security to
support and run multiple point-of-sale applications.

The payment terminals, operating environment, security architecture,
e-payment software and appliance-management platform for Verifone’s new family
of e-payment solutions incorporate flexible features that reflect the company’s
years of leadership and expertise in responding to the e-payment needs of the
market, states a Verifone press release. The modular architecture allows the
system to be adapted to specific country requirements and therefore, the needs
of merchants and acquirers worldwide.

Two key elements of this rollout–VeriCentre and major portions of the Verix
platform–were designed and developed at Verifone’s software development
center in Bangalore. The center develops software for a wide range of Verifone
products, including appliances and payment software.

Verifone general manager Pierre-Francois Catte said, "The pace required
to keep up with these changes has the potential to overload infrastructures that
were not designed to handle them, resulting in an increase in operating costs, a
slower response time to market changes and compromises in security. Verifone has
anticipated these changes and has built a comprehensive solution that will
ensure that our customers are successful within this rapidly emerging
environment."
