PCI is there to stay

Well as I was sitting here on New Years morning looking around at the Christmas gifts and thinking about the new year, one of the things that has been on my mind is the PCI certification issue – it snuck up on some of us like Christmas. Speaking of Christmas and some of the off gifts that turn up, did you ever see the picture of the 4 dogs sitting at the table playing poker?  That is what PCI reminds me of. All of the major networks sitting around a table with a fist full of cards ready to ante up our money into the pot – a pot that no one wins. It just gets bigger and bigger.

Did PCI sneak up on you?  Well, don’t feel alone.  There are actually manufacturers out there that according to the Visa website have let PCI certification sneak up on them (I guess they were too busy hanging that singing fish that uncle Farley gave them). Check your manufacturer. Make them be in compliance. 

By the way, Tranax is approved through September 2008 in case you are checking.
