Shift4 to Highlight Secure, Flexible Payment Solutions as Sponsor of Retail Realm’s Microsoft Dynamics Retail Technology Conference

NAPA, Calif. and LAS VEGAS – Tuesday, April 15, 2014

Shift4 Corporation, provider of the world’s largest independent payment gateway, will demo their ability to secure Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail and Microsoft Dynamics RMS users by removing all sensitive cardholder data from the merchant environment during Retail Realm’s Microsoft Dynamics Retail Technology Conference, April 24-26, in Las Vegas.

“In light of the recent headline-making cardholder data breaches, many merchants have approached us asking what – if anything – can be done to avoid becoming the next target of a breach,” said Shift4 VP of Business Development Bob Lowe, who will speak at the event. “Our message is that not only are there solutions to prevent this type of data theft, but that these solutions are readily available and actually come at no additional cost to merchants using RMS or AX along with our DOLLARS ON THE NET® payment gateway.”

Shift4 will be the exclusive sponsor of the AX for Retail track at the event and, as such, will have the opportunity to present “Breaches: Don’t Be Next,” a keynote presentation aimed at helping retailers avoid falling victim to the data breaches currently plaguing the retail industry.

Shift4’s TrueTokenization® and point-to-point encryption (P2PE) technologies combine to completely remove cardholder data from the merchant environment, drastically reducing a business’ breach profile and simplifying PCI compliance efforts.

Shift4’s solutions for RMS and AX extend far beyond security. DOLLARS ON THE NET also provides pre- and post-settlement auditing, secure and redundant high-speed connectivity to nearly every bank and processor in North America, support for EMV, drastically simplified PCI compliance, offline processing capabilities, and BIN spinning to reduce transaction fees.

“Retail Realm is proud to have Shift4 as an event sponsor this year,” said Rachel Smith, Retail Realm’s Director of Sales for North America. “Their solutions provide a true value-add for our users, not just in the traditional retail space, but also in back-office, MO/TO, e-commerce, or any other market sector. It’s a true omni-channel solution for secure payment processing.”

Shift4’s integrations to both Dynamics AX for Retail and RMS will be on display at Retail Realm’s 4th annual Microsoft Dynamics Retail Technology Conference at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas (April 24-26, 2014). This will provide the perfect opportunity to introduce the interfaces’ capabilities to the assembled members of Retail Realm’s extensive reseller network and to the members of Retail Realm’s rapidly expanding “AX Alliance.”
