Curbstone Shaves Development Time, Achieves Security Standards Earlier in Providing Credit-Card Processing Software

Overview Two Georgia-based companies - CFXWorks, Inc., and Curbstone Corporation - were in a successful supplier/reseller relationship when Curbstone, in late 2004, began development of new software that would expand its niche in the credit-card market. CFXWorks, a specialist developer of encryption software, had already been supplying the encryption layer that Curbstone integrated into its initial Curbstone Card versions. The challenge faced by the company was to save more than a year of development expense in a quest to offer merchants software with greater functionality and strong security for credit-card processing. Curbstone chose IBM DB2 Universal Database for iSeries, IBM Toolbox for Java and IBM WebSphere Application Server - Express; CRYPTOeServer from CFXWorks; and the Linux operating system.
