(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, October 31, 2014 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world
leader in digital security, provided SHAZAM with in-depth EMV consulting and
training for its U.S. migration planning. SHAZAM is a member-owned and
-controlled electronic funds transfer (EFT) network, delivering payment
solutions to financial institutions across the U.S. for nearly 40 years.
Gemalto's customized Allynis training services helped guide SHAZAM through its
full-scale network support of EMV. Gemalto's U.S.-based consultants worked
closely with SHAZAM's management to outline an EMV strategy for a smooth go-to-
market solution.
Gemalto has a proven track record of providing consulting services to over 150
institutions in 52 countries to accompany its partners through the entire
process of enabling their systems for EMV. The comprehensive training services
present customers with the technology and business considerations to plan for
contact or contactless EMV and Mobile EMV with NFC. Gemalto's consultants create
a tailored consulting session based on the customer's size, needs and areas of
interest.
"Gemalto's consulting services helped with our orientation to EMV. The joint
effort was instrumental in helping us get our planning started correctly. As we
transitioned into our design and development process, Gemalto continued to
provide value by validating our approach and technical specifications," said
Terry Dooley, Executive Vice President & CIO of SHAZAM. "We chose to work with
Gemalto based on their 20 years of experience in global EMV migrations. Their
experiences with contactless and mobile have also helped us lay the foundation
for upcoming changes in payment technologies."
"We tailored our consulting services to address SHAZAM's needs as they work
towards specific certifications and technical requirements facing their EMV
migration," said Bertrand Knopf, Senior Vice President of Secure Transactions
for North America at Gemalto. "Our consulting services along with our recent
expansion of U.S.-based personalization sites offer our partners a complete
understanding of the payments space as they transition to the global payment
security standard."
