As indicated by this month's report on the industry's progress on Payment Card Industry (PCI) data security mandates, small retailers are those most in need of help. They're turning to solutions providers — from VARs to vendors — for assistance. Here, representatives from HP, Intuit, and reseller Computer Troubleshooters weigh in.

Why is a bundled POS hardware/software solution a better choice for small retailers compared to a best-of-breed or custom solution?
Tate Davis, sr. product manager, HP POS: Hardware/software bundles offer small retailers a complete, cost-effective solution for not only cash register capabilities, but also accounting and retail management applications. While the combined bundled POS solution is simple to configure and set up, it provides features for increasing productivity and makes processes more efficient by allowing retailers to monitor their inventory and business investments. But retailers should make sure the bundled offerings they consider are composed of hardware and software that have been tested and certified to run together, so they can rest assured that POS platforms and retail peripherals such as scanners, receipt printers, pole displays, and cash drawers work seamlessly.
