Integration

News Facts
To help retailers increase operational efficiency, improve
the customer experience and simplify the payment process
across global markets, Oracle today announced a new release
of .
The latest version of Oracle Retail Point-of-Service provides
retailers with greater international functionality and
security by providing a common and open interface that can be
localized for different markets, providing integration for
multiple international payment partners, and using
tokenization to further secure customer card data.
The new release also delivers greater efficiency for store
associates and simplifies deployments through expanded
integrations with Oracle and third-party solutions.
Enabling Commerce Across Global Markets
To simplify and consolidate payment authorization, one of the
most complex and labor-intensive challenges for international
retailers, Oracle Retail Point-of-Service now provides an
Authorized Payment Foundation.
The Authorized Payment Foundation is a secure and flexible
application programming interface that isolates the
authorization process from the Point-of-Service and enables
integration with payment processing solutions from industry
leaders such as ACI Worldwide and Servebase.
Retailers that take advantage of the Authorized Payment
Foundation will have a configurable, extensible and
hot-pluggable localization foundation necessary to address
the ever-changing requirements for payment authorization that
supports payment devices and multiple gateway and switch
providers around the world.
Using Biometrics to Improve Security
Using integrated biometrics from a leading global provider of
authentication and endpoint protection for access, data and
communication, DigitalPersona, the latest release of Oracle
Retail Point-of-Service simplifies and strengthens compliance
with PCI security standards by allowing operators to login
using their fingerprint.
The biometrics features solve the operational challenge of
PCI compliant passwords by replacing PINs or passwords with
the touch of a fingerprint and eliminate the opportunity for
an unauthorized employee to use a manager's ID or swipe card
to access the Point-of-Service or inappropriately approve an
override.
Speeding Transactions and Improving Store Operations
Oracle Retail Point-of-Service now includes image-based quick
reference screens that allow a cashier to quickly view
pictures or icons to easily add an item to the transaction.
This eliminates the need for cashiers to consult a "Scan
Book" to find item numbers, which can slow down the checkout
process.
To further improve checkout, the new release extends
integration with to improve the configurability of
threshold-based promotions, such as, "buy two get one free"
and "equal or lesser value" promotions.
Oracle Retail Point-of-Service also now enables store
managers to preview point-of-service reports at anytime,
without sending the entire report to print. It also delivers
user interface improvements such as more visible status and
transaction totals and highlights where input is needed from
the store associate.
ACI Worldwide, DigitalPersona and Servebase are Gold level
members in Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN).
