“Several of our hospitality tech vendor clients invested substantial time and money to be certified compliant with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) guidelines,” said Michael Squires, president and COO of Softscribe Inc. “This required considerable effort and helps enable their hotel clients to earn their own compliance.  But utilizing PA-DSS-compliant technology is just one aspect of what hotel operators have to implement to earn compliance by the July 1 deadline.”  Squires’ blog entries provide online resources that describe the operational areas affected by the PCI PA-DSS-compliance mandate.
