Posting this out of sheer pride for what we have achieved as a business. Yesterday, BBC News released an article on the major card payment outages seen across the likes of McDonalds and Greggs due to IT system failures in recent weeks. But who did the BBC look to for an expert opinion on the matter? Our very own CEO Alan Stephenson-Brown. To me, this article highlights a few significant IT industry trends: 1. Using the worlds biggest Vendors and the worlds biggest MSP's certainly doesn't guarantee the right knowledge or solution. 2. The IT Industry on the whole does not pay enough attention to understanding and integrating with what matters most to the end customer and their industry. Payments are critical to the QSR/Retail sectors but how often is your MSP bringing it up in conversation? 3. Evolve are really starting to get the recognition that we deserve within our specialist sectors of Fuel Forecourt/QSR/Retail. Breaking the mould of your average MSP and truly immersing ourselves in your industry. Evolve in conjunction with Mako Networks have created an SD-WAN offering that was designed with payment transactions at the forefront. From PCI Level 1 Certifications through to industry leading integrations into some of the biggest payment transactors in the world, Evolve have the expertise and experience that your brand needs. 9,500 locations across 12 countries are already benefiting from our solutions. Please reach out to me if you want to understand more about what we do. #IT #PCI #QSR #Retail #Payments #SDWAN
