Global payment technology company Hypercom Corporation has stated that its SmartPayments solution suite has attained the distinction of being the pioneering electronic payment processing software to pass certification tests that are supposed to pass the ‘Windows Vista comparability’ criteria. The Hypercom SmartPayments Client and SmartPayments Server product lines have earned the ‘Certified for Windows Vista’ designations from Microsoft Corp.

Now the Windows Vista logo certified logo on the software makes certain the Hypercom SmartPayments products run efficiently with Windows Vista-based PCs and allow merchants to explore all the new security features and other improvements of the new Microsoft operating system.

The certified for Windows Vista logo helps ensure that Hypercom SmartPayments products work smoothly with Windows Vista-based PCs and enable merchants to make full use of the new security features and other enhancements of the new Microsoft operating system. Hypercom SmartPayments products still maintain their certifications for earlier-generation operating systems, including Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

Dave Wascha, Director of Windows Client Product Management at Microsoft Corp. said, “Products that carry the Certified for Windows Vista logo have met explicit standards of reliability and quality, and have been tested and proven to deliver a superior experience with Windows Vista.” Wascha added, “We are pleased that the Hypercom SmartPayments solution suite carries the Certified for Windows Vista logo and takes advantage of the new technologies available in Windows Vista.”

“These certifications demonstrate our commitment to providing best-in-class payment processing solutions to merchants, keeping pace with their network infrastructure needs and providing optimal security,” said Bill Pittman , Vice President, Hypercom Payment Solutions. “By combining Payment Applications Best Practices certification from the card issuing associations with support for Windows Vista security upgrades, our SmartPayments suite offers an excellent defense against spyware, malware and data theft.”

Hypercom’s SmartPayments’s products gives its consumers a secure, scalable platform for integrating payment processing solutions with point-of-sale, accounting/billing, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and internet shopping cart systems.
