Update: Jan 18 2023

Our two main initiatives underway include:

  • reworking how PrismPOS communicates with pin-pads

  • revamping our cloud infrastructure

Both have the goal of added resiliency related to credit card processing.

Our progress with reworking PrismPOS communication with pin-pads has been fantastic - we’ve started discussions with Shift4 on a certification plan. To summarize this initiative, we are removing the long-lived channel between the Shift4 UTG (and eventually FreedomPay FRCC) that is on-premise on our customer’s network, and our cloud infrastructure. This change will add resiliency against any internet/network related disruptions between our customer’s networks and our cloud infrastructure, allowing credit card transactions to continue to process. Our goal is to spend Spring 2023 testing this initiative with a Summer 2023 wide availability. We will have the ability to migrate individual customers to the new credit card communication model (it will not be forced upon all customer simultaneously).

Similarly, our progress with revamping our cloud infrastructure has also been terrific. This initiative is migrating our legacy virtual servers to a modern cloud platform and will again add resiliency related to network communication back to customer on-premise systems. We’ve completed most all of the development work for the ancillary pieces and are now focused on the main part, NBCTransfer. Again, our goal is to spend Spring 2023 testing with availability in Summer 2023. We will also migrate customers individually to this new infrastructure (no firewall changes or other customer network changes will need to occur).

PrismPOS Stability Updates

...

After rush we will be focusing our efforts on the following improvements for future releases.

Environment Rework

After rush, we will begin We have started the process of eliminating virtual machines from our cloud infrastructure and leveraging Microsoft’s serverless solutions. This will reduce the potential for environmental issues to create problems for customers.

It is our goal to complete this work and be fully tested prior to spring rush.

Phased Deployments

We have identified a need to implement the concept of early releases into the PrismPOS deployment process. This new phased release pipeline will allow us to deliver fixes faster and more frequently to customers and turn on new features with less risk to stores.
