Kilrush is heavily involved in Chip & PIN initiatives, and is working to ensure that medium sized merchants in retail and hospitality who process card payments on their own EPOS equipment will be cared for as well as the larger retailers. Since the Consultancy was founded in 1993, it has been primarily focused on medium sized merchants, and will continue to support this sector.

Connie has been a guest speaker at a number of Chip and PIN forums, organised by companies such as Alphameric, Box Technologies [Retail Systems Forum], Drapers Record, IBM and TNS. Connie provides an independent view of the Chip and PIN programme and the action that needs to be taken, or not taken, as liability shift looms on 01.01.2005. Question and Answer sessions following these forums indicate that knowledge of just Chip and PIN is not enough. The questions cover the whole range of card acceptance at Point of Sale, as indeed will happen in real life as retailers move to make decisions and implement Chip and PIN.

For help in:

Explaining the need for change at Point of Sale. Formal Presentations done for VARs and Retailers
Avoiding the fallout from the liability shift in 2005
Identifying the best solution
Co-ordinating the deployment of the new hardware, the integration of the upgraded EFT software with the EPOS software, and the amendments to the EPOS software to accommodate the new mode of operation.
Ensuring the whole system being deployed complies with the new card regulations and end to end acquirer testing is completed quickly and efficiently
