The ISD Enterprise Transaction Framework includes the following:
By implementing ISD software, merchants enjoy the following benefits:
- Centralize payment management: ISD software allows merchants to consolidate payment management at the store or enterprise level. When centralizing payments at the enterprise level, merchants can realize significant cost savings and transaction speed increases by migrating their payment transactions from multiple dial connections to a single, dedicated connection.
- Leverage processor choice: ISD software has been interfaced to and certified with the most extensive set of third party payment processors in the market, effectively reducing the time and cost merchants incur by changing processors. Using ISD software, merchants have unequalled choice in selecting their payment processors and managing their processing rates.
- Insulate the POS from the Processor World: Payment switches insulate the POS system from regular programming changes necessitated by what is an increasing stream of specification and regulatory changes flowing from the associations and processors. The PCI data security standards are a great example. There are literally dozens of these processor specification and regulatory changes across the industry every year. Without a payment switch, compliance with such changes necessitates costly and time consuming custom POS programming projects. In addition to insulating the POS system from specification changes, as noted above under Processor Independence, payment switches insulate POS systems from changes that would otherwise be required with a change from one payment processor to another.
- Plan for POS changes: ISD software has been integrated with a comprehensive list of industry-leading point-of-sale systems. The combination of these existing interfaces and the flexible ISD Application Programming Interface (API), allows merchants to efficiently adopt new point-of-sale hardware and software without impacting payment system components or processor connections.
- Consolidate multiple channels: ISD software enables merchants to manage payments from a wide variety of transaction sources such as cash registers, e-commerce applications, mail/telephone order systems, fuel pumps, and wireless devices on a single technology platform. By consolidating transactions through a single application with comprehensive reporting, merchants can reduce costs and gain operational efficiencies.
- Respond to customer demands: Merchants are accomplishing more objectives through payment acceptance than ever before, including increased customer loyalty, faster check-out times and higher average ticket sales. The modularity of ISD software allows merchants to add new payment types and features quickly and cost effectively with minimal impact on their larger payment systems.
- Enable direct connections: By implementing ISD software, merchants gain the ability to connect directly to authorization and settlement end-points, thereby lowering their transaction processing costs.
- Protect capital investments: ISD software integrates with merchants' existing infrastructure investments and scales as their technology and product needs evolve. The open system, modular architecture and ongoing feature/function enhancement of ISD software ensure that merchants' current capital investments are protected well into the future.
- Leverage multi-platform capabilities: ISD understands that merchants select platforms for a variety of reasons ranging from specific platform attributes to the technical expertise of their internal IT teams. Therefore, ISD software is truly multi-platform and has been deployed on such platforms as IBM iSeries (OS/400 and i5/OS), pSeries (AIX), and zSeries (OS/390 and z/OS); HP-UX; Linux; and Microsoft Windows.
