If
you visited booth 305 at the ETA 2000 Midyear Meeting, you already know
that Vital Processing Services chose the meeting as its venue to launch
three new products as part of its Retail Solutions and eSolutions suite of
services. “These
three product announcements reflect Vital’s ongoing commitment to
understand the emerging opportunities in electronic payment processing and
related merchant services, and to delivering solutions that help our
clients exploit those opportunities,” said Jon Palmer, Vital Processing
Services’ president and CEO. VirtualWebuilder Vital
introduced its signature eSolutions
product, VirtualWebuilder. VirtualWebuilder was developed for Vital
by Kinzan, a provider of a brandable suite of applications for content
management, commerce, and communications. The solution offers turnkey Web
site hosting and development for all business types and sizes. VirtualWebuilder
is a quick way for businesses to create an information or commerce-enabled
Web site. Merchants can develop a site in 15 minutes using a
template-driven, point-and-click wizard application. Vital
EPS In
other Vital news, the company recently signed an exclusive contract with
MEISolutions.com, a business-to-business retail solutions provider, to
combine Vital’s processing and support services with MEI’s Electronic
Payment System POS software. Vital Electronic Payment System (Vital EPS)
is a fully managed software package for credit, debit, EBT, and check
payment processing. Vital reports that the EPS solution is ideal for
multi-lane/multi-store retailers who have problems with downtime, limited
reporting, billing inaccuracies, or slow transaction approvals. Vital
Wireless Solution Finally,
Vital has teamed up with CellGate Technologies to offer a transaction
processing service that enables merchants’ existing POS terminals to
communicate with Vital’s host via wireless Internet Protocol (IP)
instead of the traditional dial line. When the CellGate service is
combined with Vital’s “dial and hold” terminal application, typical
transaction processing time is four seconds. “Giving
our clients this speed to market advantage will allow them to generate a
new revenue stream. Merchants can capitalize on the fact that CellGate’s
wireless IP technology is faster, less expensive, and more secure than
traditional business lines used today,” said Palmer. Arizona-based
Vital Processing Services provides technology-based commerce-enabling
services. Vital is a merchant processing joint venture of Visa®
USA and Total System Services Inc. VPS’s Web site is www.vitalps.com. MEISolutions.com
