NCR
Corporation, the global leader in consumer transaction technologies,
(NYSE: NCR) today announced the inclusion of private and multi-tenant
cloud capabilities for NCR Connected Payments customers in the U.S. To
date, the NCR payment solution is already in place at over 17,000 stores
that are processing more than $120 billion in transactions annually.
”In our discussions with retailers large and small, securing and
protecting digital assets are top-of-mind and must be deeply integrated
into any solution,” says Michael Bayer, president at NCR Retail. ”Our
tier zero and tier one customers were specifically interested in a
private cloud solution for NCR Connected Payments, which we have created
and are now offering to the broader market today.”
NCR
Connected Payments is a solution that was developed and maintained
to meet the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard (PCI DSS) and EMV (Europay, Mastercard and Visa). It also
prepares retailers for accepting alternative payments like mobile
payments and eWallets applications. The solution significantly reduces
the payment data footprint in the store, substantially reducing the
exposure of retailers to payment data theft.
”Cloud technology allows us to now offer a multi-tenant SaaS solution
for any type and size of retail operation taking payments, this includes
private-cloud solutions that are being tailored for some of the largest
retail chains operating today,” says Brett Chandler, vice president and
general manager for SaaS, NCR Retail. ”Retailers are re-doubling their
efforts to protect digital assets and as a result, we have seen 40
percent year-over-year growth in retailers selecting the NCR Connected
Payments offering.”
To mitigate Payment card theft and fraud risks, NCR Connected Payments
enhances data and transmission protection, from PIN pad to payment
processor using point-to-point (P2P) encryption and tokenization. The
NCR SaaS implementation also provides advanced security monitoring and
vulnerability management that meets or exceeds what is required for PCI
compliance. This affords retailers more precise, constant visibility
into the health of their complete payment system.
To learn more about NCR Connected Payments, visit NCR at the National
Retail Federation Big Show in New York at booth #3705 from January 11-13.
