San Diego, CA, January 23, 2006 Systech Corporation, San Diego, an industry leader in the design and manufacture of Internet Payment Gateways for electronic transaction markets, today announced an alliance with Columbus Data Services to convert dial-up ATM transactions to IP-based transactions. Under the agreement, Columbus Data has certified Systech dial-to-IP converters and will recommend and resell the product to CDS resellers and merchants transitioning ATM processing from dial to IP.
Systech Internet Payment Gateways convert dial-up payment transactions to high-speed IP transactions. The gateways connect both legacy and new ATMs to the CDS processing host over the public Internet using secure SSL IP protocols. No changes are required to the installed ATM software dial applications. Merchants with existing, private IP networks can also use the Systech/CDS solution to convert and re-route dial transactions through existing WAN links. Merchants benefit from both higher-speed transactions, and recurring cost savings from eliminating dedicated dial-up telephone lines.
"Systech converters allow us to address a growing requirement within our customer base for both higher-speed IP transactions and a reduction in telephony costs," said John Willmon, vice president of marketing for Columbus Data Services. "It provides our growing base of ATM customers with a low-cost method to upgrade their dial ATMs to the efficiencies of newer IP-based processing. Systech helped us to successfully integrate their flexible connectivity solution into our production-ready SSL and private IP networks."
"Columbus Data Services important market position in ATM processing, and its skilled base of ATM resellers are important to the ATM industry and to Systech," said John Stafford, Systech's director of payment systems. " The strength and reputation of CDS is important to Systech's commitment to enable the benefits and savings of IP-based processing to all merchant types worldwide."
