ICA AB Deploys S2 Systems' OpeN/2 to Drive New Distribution Channel - OpeN/2® Gets Winning Bet From Nordic Retail Group to Launch Online Services
DALLAS, TX (ots)
S2 Systems, Inc., a global provider of transaction processing, authorization and integrated solutions for the banking, financial, retail and travel sectors, today announced ICA AB has deployed S2's OpeN/2® platform to drive its new distribution channel for online services. ICA AB has 3,100 stores in Scandinavia and the Baltic countries; the company initially plans to offer online horse betting.
ICA AB is laying the groundwork for horse betting and related services by deploying OpeN/2 to establish connectivity between its stores and Swedish-based ATG, the national syndicate for horse racing.
"S2 Systems' new contract is further evidence that OpeN/2 provides the best price/performance value," said Stephen Clark, president and CEO of S2 Systems. "We continue to make significant sales wins throughout Europe, Middle East, Asia-Pacific and the Americas, driving business-critical online enterprise payment and transaction processing systems that support an increasingly broad array of consumer-direct technologies such as mobile and POS devices. ICA AB is a long-standing S2 customer and we look forward to working with them in this latest project."
The gap between S2 Systems and its competitors continues to widen in terms of price/performance, reliability, delivery, and support. S2 Systems is a true technology innovator with proven customer sites that have drawn attention from industry leaders such as Intel, Microsoft, Unisys and IBM. S2 Systems has the best credentials to meet the business requirements of today's retail conglomerates.
