IS4C Certified for Integrated Credit Card Transactions
IS4C has been certified for integrated credit card processing with First Data/Concord. In the integrated process IS4C acts as a conduit, whereby credit card information is forwarded directly from the IS4C terminal to Concord, and no credit data is stored in the system. The version certified is the one used at the Wedge Co-op, which runs on Windows still. We hope to reconcile the Wedge version with the Linux version and apply for re-certification so that the Linux version can also handle integrated credit card transactions in the very near future.

For the first time, the Linux version had a scanner scale driver that seemed to function well in the lab. I wanted to see how well it worked in production. I also wanted to take pictures of the event, but above all, I am always interested in IS4C installations, and simply could not stay away. In the end, I was only able to observe for half an hour after the store offically opened on August 1st before I had to make a mad dash for the airport. I'll get to that later.
As it turned out, I arrived two days before the roll-out, on July 30th, to find Albert Co-op pleasantly situated on a well travelled, but quiet street. Inside, an eerie calm prevailed...
