Welcome to the tenth edition of Logic Matters, The Logic Group’s online newsletter for clients and partners. ‘Christmas brought to you by The Logic Group’ is probably an accurate description of the extent to which both merchants and customers rely on our products and services at this time of year. The Logic Group is proud to be involved with innovations which have revolutionised Christmas shopping this year: ground-breaking gift card centres at Sainsbury’s and kiosk solutions offering enhanced purchasing functionality at HMV. Thinking about Christmas past, present and future, in this issue, we look back, reporting on a successful PCI DSS programme of events; and a nationally recognised loyalty programme for the Co-op. We look at the present: considering an innovative mobile coupon project at BP, and celebrating customers being live in our new data centres; and we look ahead: to an Enhanced Security Solution which will facilitate PCI DSS compliance, and a cashless future as contactless payments are rolled out in London. We wish all our partners and clients a happy Christmas and continued success in 2007.

2. The Logic Group Launches Enhanced Security Solution
Cardholder security breaches have seriously harmed brand reputations and damaged consumer trust and confidence. The need for a more stringent approach to the security of cardholder data has resulted in the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Within this context of a requirement for heightened security, The Logic Group has unveiled its unique Enhanced Security Solution.

4. Mobile Coupons for BP Wild Bean Cafés
BP has launched the UK’s largest ever secure mobile voucher scheme, teaming up with
i-movo, secure mobile voucher technology specialists, and The Logic Group to deliver a ground-breaking mobile marketing campaign for BP that uses mobile vouchers to drive footfall to Wild Bean Cafés.
