Pamida Chooses Cybera’s SmartNetwork
PCI Compliance and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) deliver immediate value
NASHVILLE, TN - January 9, 2009 - Cybera®, a leading managed service provider of security and network solutions, today announced the addition of Pamida to their rapidly growing customer base of SmartNetwork users.
Pamida, a regional retailer with over 200 stores, is focused on bringing value and convenience close to home in small communities. Cybera’s SmartNetwork was chosen to address their increased bandwidth needs in support of their new real-time Tomax point of sale (POS) system in addition to an upcoming real-time pharmacy application. Pamida now has the connectivity they need to monitor daily sales, track inventory, report sales and manage back office email.
"We chose Cybera’s SmartNetwork when we decided to implement our new Tomax POS system,” commented Jack Wawrzynkiewicz, Director of IT for Pamida. “Principally because Cybera is PCI compliant, flexible enough to meet our aggressive implementation timetable and, their managed service approach can support the needs of our in house IT staff. Cybera was also the best solution for mitigating the added cost of increased bandwidth that is necessary for the overhaul of our new application environment."
Pamida also has the advantage of Cybera’s SmartFlo feature, for the prioritization of applications. SmartFlo eliminates network congestion during peak periods of usage and can eliminate the added cost associated with increased bandwidth.
Being a managed security and network services provider, Cybera is able to provide Pamida with a 24/7 fully monitored and managed PCI compliant network. This service proactively addresses network events and provides a support system for Pamida's in-house IT staff, working with them to roll out new stores as they open.
"The SmartNetwork solution implemented for Pamida really highlights how Cybera tightly integrates our networking and security technology to deliver application performance for our merchant customers,” remarked Ken Royer, Cybera’s senior vice president of sales. “This also serves as a great example of how we work to directly enhance the value and performance delivered by our application partners.”
Cybera also recently announced a strategic partnership with Tomax, a leading retail POS system vendor. Tomax and Cybera chose to form a strategic partnership based on the comprehensiveness and quality of their POS and managed network and security solutions for the retail industry.
