News Release
September 28th, 2004
Wiz-Tec announces commencement to provide development for platform change
for CD45/46 modules
in conjunction with Moneris and Federated Co-op, for Federated Co-op.
Calgary, Alberta, September 28th, 04 – Wiz-Tec Computing Technologies
Inc. announced today that Federated Co-op,
in conjunction with Moneris business solutions Inc. have granted Wiz-Tec
the go ahead to modify the existing systems in
over 500 lanes across western Canada for FCL. Wiz-Tec anticipates delivery
of the new CD45/46 modifications to FCL
by early November.
“Moneris announced the platform change in late 2003, and Wiz-Tec
is pleased to be involved in the roll-out of the new
CD45/46 product for FCL, which currently uses Wiz-Tec’s VisualPOS
2.8 (Prism) software in approximately 500 lanes
across Western Canada”, commented Wiz-Tec’s William Macdonell,
VP Operations and Director of Corporate
Development. “This is significant for Federated Co-op and Moneris,
as it will allow them to provide higher security
measures than in the past when the customer is using debit or credit in
their transactions. The new protocols add several
new layers of protection in the transaction process for the customer,
and FCL and Moneris are very forward thinking
given that some of the security features we are preparing to integrate
with the POS product are not even regulations yet”.
Wiz-Tec Computing Technologies Inc. was founded in 1990, and its corporate
head office is based out of Calgary,
Alberta, Canada. In 1992, Wiz-Tec was already involved in POS projects,
when it realized that significant components
of the Retail Gas Industries POS (Point of Sale) product were lacking
components that were crucial to the ability of the
retailer to run their business effectively. So Wiz-Tec began building
the necessary modules required to provide a 100%
solution.
Since that time Wiz-Tec has sold its software, directly and through dealers,
to over 1500 sites in Canada and the US,
as well as developed new, more sophisticated software with applications
in Government, Fleet card, and Small Business
environments. We have customers that do not even know they run our software.
Today, Wiz-Tec is working hard towards quickly becoming a major player
in the Canadian claims industry, as well as
creating economical, easy to deploy solutions for Fleet card and loyalty
based retail programs. Wiz-Tec’s greatest efforts
are centered around innovative applications for existing technologies
in order to breath new life into them, while creating
cost effective solutions for our customers, both new and old.
Wiz-Tec maintains over 1.5 million lines of source code in over 20 software
products, some of which are as popular today
as the day they were released
