To see fewer VARs are offering security services when the needs of merchants are increasing is disheartening. Many solutions providers in this segment have been dealing with monumental shifts in the industry, facing new competition and pricing pressures. Certainly, adding security services would act as a point of differentiation while providing an additional revenue stream. Achieve Excellence Through Rigorous Testing POS VARs are always looking for the most durable, high-quality products they can offer their customers. At APG, our commitment to excellence begins with the design of every product we ultimately build.  Once the design is complete, we test every cash drawer model to withstand the rigors of the most demanding retail environments.  Making The Business Case For POS-As-A-Service Selling point of sale solutions to retail and hospitality clients via an as-a-Service model may seem counterintuitive, particularly to VARs that have traditionally relied on the profit margins generated by hardware and software sales. But as technological advances accelerate and product life cycles shrink, this emerging business model comes close to being a true "win-win" for everyone involved. Security Starts At The POS The POS holds a trove of information that, when appropriately leveraged, can help stop crime and aid first responders. One ISV's idea to expose that data is getting lots of attention and fueling significant growth. PCI QIR Certification Exam Tips The urgency for VARs to become QIR certified has increased due to a new deadline imposed by Visa. Effective January 31, 2017, acquirers must require Level 4 merchants who use a third party for POS application or terminal installation, integration, or maintenance to use PCI-certified QIR professionals from the QIR Companies list to install and service POS applications and terminals. Let's take a look at the advantages of becoming QIR certified, and how best to proceed.
