The importance of payment terminal security and functionality
Terminal point-of-sale (POS) vendors encounter complex challenges when running test execution or deploying or updating payment terminals. For glitch-free transactions, terminal vendors must meet the rising security and convenience demands of an interconnected and cashless world. Payment terminals also need to be functionally compliant with the specifications set by industry regulators and standardization bodies both globally and locally. Between implementation, testing and certification, you need an easy solution.
