No commentsOrderDynamics Announces PCI Level 1 Compliant Solutions with Hosted PCI Integration
Toronto, ON — October 20, 2011
With increased pressure on Retailers to become Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant, OrderDynamics announces the ability to deliver Level 1 PCI compliant solutions, the highest possible rating for eCommerce Service Providers. PCI-DSS is a multifaceted security standard that includes intensive merchant requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical protective measures centered on protecting credit card data.
This new core platform integration with Hosted PCI combines their powerful Payment Vault Tokenization technology with the OrderDynamics On-Demand eCommerce Platform. Retailers can now enjoy worry-free PCI compliance without compromising front-end flexibility, or backend integration options.
Through the utilization of Hosted PCI Tokenization, OrderDynamics merchants still benefit from critical features such as Re-ordering, Auto-Shipping, Credit Card Wallet, Call Center, Returns, and Order Management. OrderDynamics’ merchants will also benefit from 100% credit card breach indemnity as no sensitive card holder data ever enters the merchants environment.
OrderDynamics has also integrated the Hosted PCI Call Center IVR (Integrated Voice Response) system, removing the need for merchant call center staff from having to take credit card numbers over the phone, a necessity when running high volume eCommerce websites. With the Hosted PCI Call Center IVR enabled, shoppers are able to enter their credit card data into their telephone which returns a token to the call center agent who in turn enters the token into the OrderDynamics call center checkout page when processing telephone sales and service requests.
?By integrating Hosted PCI into our core platform payment stack and call center, OrderDynamics can deliver solutions that meet the highest level of PCI compliance without the traditional costs Retailers face? explains Michael Benadiba, CEO of OrderDynamics. ?In our experience, many merchants need all the help they can get in the area of PCI compliance and we believe this solution does just that? continues Benadiba.
?The seamlessness of the integration being offered with the OrderDynamics platform gives merchants a quick and easy way to achieve PCI compliance, no matter what level of processing requirements they?re held to? says Saurabh Soman, Co-Founder of Hosted PCI. ?This solution not only saves the merchant money through expediting the compliance process, but also significantly reduces merchant costs to maintain compliance each year? continues Soman.
OrderDynamics completed the integration as part of their Q2 platform release.

In March 2010 Hosted PCI launched its first service for e-commerce merchants: Hosted PCI Checkout Express Edition.

However, as the number of new call center companies and agencies had grown, the number of new call center services had also significantly grown in the market, allowing more businesses from other markets to make use of their services.
Other than the success of these businesses in their own markets, the call center industry had also become successful due to its continuous expansion not only in the Philippine market, but also in the world market. Eventually, the Philippines were placed as call center capital of the world.
Through their call center services, Magellan Call Center rapidly rose in the industry, allowing the company to expand in two different offices in Central Metro Manila.
