To support these efforts, Verifone focus on collaboration by adopting open standards and delivering consistent build environments. The heady mix of hardware, software coupled with new development tools provides efficient integration with more services and technology platforms. These implementations result in engaging more merchants, customers, and partners eventuating with new business opportunities borne out of POS solutions as the substrate.

Verifone’s capability to derive sales opportunities out of POS systems comes out its unique approach of considering it as a starting point to greater value in the connected commerce space – rather than seeing POS as just an endpoint.
