San Diego, CA and Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB via Mobilitynewswire) February 16, 2005 -- Semtek Innovative Solutions Corporation, the leading developer of mobile card-reading technologies, and Noblett & Associates, a payment industry consultancy, announced today an alliance between the two companies to better channel Semtek’s products through Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) that service financial and retail organizations. The goal of the alliance is to provide small- and medium-sized businesses with the ability to accept electronic payments via mobile/wireless devices in the most secure environment possible.
Companies with mobile business operations require the ability to accept credit card payments from remote locations. These businesses often turn toward trusted ISOs to research and recommend solutions that best meet their needs. Noblett & Associates, with its solid understanding of ISO requirements, will recommend Semtek’s card swipe products to ISOs that specialize in payments technologies.
“Our expertise in the payments industry, coupled with Semtek’s leading-edge product design, development and management will provide the industry with an unequaled mobile payments solution,” said Paul Noblett, president of Noblett & Associates. “Although there are other players in the mobile/wireless payment field, Semtek is unique in terms of its ability to provide an efficient and extremely cost-effective solution.”
Semtek’s card readers connect through wireless handheld devices, such as PDAs and cell phones, and support industries requiring mobile commerce applications, on-site lead retrieval, and immediate identity verification. The company’s mobile card readers are designed to work with top branded devices from such companies as Symbol, Intermec, HHP, PalmOne, Hewlett Packard, and Nextel. Semtek’s solutions are designed and priced to enable organizations of all sizes to be equipped with a cost-effective, secure means of accepting payments from remote locations. Competing products in the industry often require substantial investments in equipment, eliminating opportunities for small remote business operators.
“The strength of our alliance with Noblett & Associates lies in the synergy between the leader in mobile card reading technology and a trusted advisor to the ISO financial services industry,” said John Sarkisian, Semtek’s chief executive officer. “Our combined expertise will result in more powerful mobile commerce solutions channeled more efficiently to the right markets.”
