  • tekservePOS Launches i OS Software for Retailers at NRF

    January 27, 2009 Alex Woodie

    tekservePOS launched a new suite of i OS-based software last week at the National Retail Federation (NRF) conference and expo in New York City. The new offering, called tekRETAIL Suite, provides a full-function point of sale (POS) platform for stores, at a fraction of the cost of enterprise POS vendors, the company claims.

    tekRETAIL Suite has two components: the POS software, called tekRETAIL Store, and tekRETAIL Central Office. tekRETAIL Store runs on Windows, while tekRETAIL Central Office runs on the IBM i OS and IBM Power Systems (formerly i5 and AS/400) servers.

    The POS component provides all the basic functionality one would expect from a retail checkout system, including sales and cash management; connections to scanners and payment systems; exchange and warranty; and special order and up-sell functionality, among other features.

    The tekRETAIL Central Office component is designed to connect to the POS system, and provides more advanced functionality in support of the retail environment, including sales audit, loss prevention, item maintenance, and pricing functionality, in addition to management of customer loyalty programs and coupons.

    John Pruban, president of Illinois-based tekservePOS, says there is a huge amount of dissatisfaction among customers of major enterprise POS providers.

    “While there are core challenges with product roadmaps, integration, and quality, the biggest concern is the ability to respond to customer needs in a timely, flexible, and customized manner,” Pruban says. “tekRETAIL Suite offers retailers just as powerful platforms as the other POS Software enterprise vendors, but at a more affordable price.”

    For more information on tekservePOS, visit the company’s Web site at www.tekservepos.com.

    This article has been corrected. The tekRETAIL Store POS system runs on Windows, not the System i. IT Jungle regrets the error.

    Integrate Virtual Tape to Automate Your Backups And Strengthen Your Ability To Recover From Cyber Attacks And Disasters

    With most IT departments stretched thin, finding something that can quickly free up IT time is definitely a bonus. That’s why it’s important to stop and take a look at integrating virtual tape into your backup and recovery. Virtual tape is one of those technologies where once you have it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. See a demo and get a $50 gift card.

    But what is it about using virtual tape that makes it so worthwhile? Why is it that so many IBM i shops are already using or considering using virtual tape for all or part of their backup and recovery systems?

    Virtual tape and virtual tape libraries offer a way to both simplify and strengthen backup and recovery operations. By incorporating virtual tape technology, automation of backups becomes possible resulting in hundreds of hours saved annually for IT departments and personnel.

    “We needed to find a replacement that would lower the maintenance cost and reduce complexity of our backup and recovery functions without a major disruption to our operations.” David Fray, Director of Enterprise Systems, ABC Financial

    LaserVault ViTL is a virtual tape and tape library solution developed specifically for use with IBM Power Systems (from AS/400 to iSeries to Power 9s). With ViTL you can:

    • Replace physical tape and tape libraries and eliminate associated delays
    • Automate backup operations, including the ability to purge or archive backups
    • Remotely manage your backups – no need to be onsite with your server
    • Save backups to a dedupe appliance and the cloud
    • Recover your data at lightspeed greatly improving your ability to recover from cyberattacks
    • And so much more

    Sign-up now to see a ViTL online demo and get a $50 Amazon e-gift card when the demo is complete as our way of saying thanks for your time. Plus when you sign-up you’ll receive a free facts comparison sheet on using virtual tape vs tape so you can compare the functionality for yourself.
