Megasys' Portfolio HMS integrates Shift4's $$$ ON THE NET® for fast, reliable, and secure payment processing in the hospitality industry.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) November 23, 2006 -- Shift4 Corporation, a leading developer of enterprise payment solutions, and Megasys Hospitality Systems, Inc., a leading provider of hospitality and property management software, announced today an exclusive partnership. Together, they offer fully integrated management solutions with a payment gateway that accepts and processes credit, debit and gift card transactions quickly, accurately and securely.

As the leading payment gateway provider in the industry, Shift4's $$$ ON THE NET® can help our customers keep cardholder information and credit card data storage to a minimum, while helping our Megasys solutions remain compliant with the Card Associations," stated Mark A. Viola, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Megasys Hospitality Systems, Inc.

Shift4 is currently in development with Megasys to offer their customers fail-safe data security and the ability to maintain their current processor relationship or change processors without any penalty fees, equipment changes or delays. By leveraging a centralized hosted server solution, Megasys customers are able to meet the needs of their guests and increase their operational efficiency with $$$ ON THE NET's real-time auditing, reporting, and fraud protection capabilities.

"We are proud to partner with Megasys to create a robust and reliable solution that streamlines their portfolio and reinforces their commitment to customer service excellence. By removing their customers' security fears and easing compliance concerns, they can allocate fewer resources to maintaining cardholder data and spend more time focused on their core business," stated J.
