For payment systems managers wondering if the jPOS project is a good choice for your enterprise, we’ve got an update from our flagship OLS.Switch client as a consideration in your decision-making process.
At that client, we reached a gratifying dual milestone last week. First, they’ve just finished on-boarding the last of about 1,800 acquired stores, bringing the total to around 5,020 locations across the four US continental time zones. Second, we’ve just converted the last of the payment acceptance types off of the legacy platform. That's a Check Authorization application. As a result, as of Friday the legacy application is processing a big fat zero transactions per day, while the jPOS-fueled OLS.Switch clocked in a week in which the daily average was just a gnat's hair shy of 1 million (991,588 to be exact).
I had said here recently that the 'New Normal' after we reached these milestones was going to be one where we reached a million customers interactions a day the 'natural' way, i.e., without the a holiday-fueled consumer buying bulge. We're not quite there yet. Thursday, Friday and Saturday all clocked in comfortably over the one million threshold but were no doubt fueled by a sizable Father's Day run-up.
We do all this on $28,000 of core server hardware - replicated application nodes + a two-server MS SQL Server virtual cluster. Refer to my 'Can jPOS Handle It?' series for further details.
