EMV Enabling Legacy Systems on Fourcourts

By Matthew Barnes

Abstract
Major credit card companies are instigating a shift from traditional magnetic stripe cards to smartcards in order to reduce their risk of fraud. Replacing entire retail automation systems on oil forecourts is traditionally considered to be a high risk, high cost and laborious process.
R&D Technology Solutionz offer a cost effective alternative solution, using the ITL Enabler and specific software applications to allow the existing payment terminals to be replaced without affecting the remainder of the POS (Point of Sale) and automation systems on a retail oil site.
The solution suggested will reduce fraud problems while providing a cost effective, scalable method of EMV enabling a forecourt.
