As payment systems become increasingly complex, retailer communication networks are increasingly feeling the strain. As E-Commerce grows, it is becomingly increasingly important to ensure that online storefronts are reliable, scalable and integrated with store systems. In the store itself, Chip & PIN has led to significantly more data being sent online for each transaction, with the additional processing putting considerable pressure on existing networks.
To address these needs, The Logic Group has developed a package of managed services that allow retailers to upgrade to secure IP network systems, removing the cost of operating, administering and maintaining legacy network systems. Combining our infrastructure and communications expertise with our strengths in transaction processing and running managed services, the result is the launch of a range of new reliable, secure networking services.
With this new service, traffic from the retailer’s head office or store back office is routed over a secure network access directly to The Logic's Group's secure server environment, where card validation, authorisation and settlement are carried out on behalf of the retailer. From the moment your traffic enters our network, we monitor transactions and provide a guaranteed service level right to the point of delivery. The result is easier management and better visibility.
Previously, connectivity to bank networks has been operated by using legacy connections such as X.25 or telephone dial-up lines, neither of which have changed for twenty years and are the equivalent of using cash registers rather than EPoS systems. Modern IP networking offers well-proven, ubiquitous, cost-effective and secure services that are better geared to the demands of today's payment systems.
A range of modern connectivity options is available for transaction delivery either from a central system or directly from stores. Users can select line types, speeds and contention ratios appropriate to their business needs. We provide a fully managed, secure, service enabling users to start taking advantage of the many financial, operational and competitive advantages that the technology offers.
