AIMsi v7.0 Features

Recently the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard was created by major credit card companies to safeguard customer information. Visa, MasterCard, American Express and other credit card associations mandate that merchants and service providers meet certain minimum standards of security when they store, process and transmit cardholder data. Part of this standard is dedicated to specific requirements of your pos/business software.

Tri-Technical Systems Inc. has made the necessary software changes to ensure that the AIMsi software meets the new PCI standards. To be compliant with the new standards you must be on the latest version 7.0 of the AIMsi software. As a merchant if any cardholder information is compromised and you cannot demonstrate compliance at the time of the compromise you can be subject to fines and liable for losses.
