CardSoft benefits:
-Lower application development costs for device software
-Extend functionality of payment terminals with new applications
-Increase security based on smart card technology
-Reduce costs for deploying/maintaining terminal software applications

CardSoft provides a secure software platform for developing and deploying payment applications that run on devices such as credit/debit card terminals and set-top boxes. CardSoft brings the “write once run anywhere” benefits of Java technology to these embedded systems, which significantly reduces the costs associated with developing and supporting applications on the device. The CardSoft solution is based on the STIP (Small Terminal Interoperability Platform) specification endorsed by the financial and payment card industries.

CardSoft’s solution can help convert a dedicated payment terminal into a multi-function device, because multiple applications may now run securely, side-by-side on the same system. For instance, a credit card terminal may safely run a customer loyalty or gift card application in addition to the traditional payment processing application.
