Pay By Touch: Revolutionizing Retail Through Biometrics

Overview Pay By Touch had put together two existing capabilities - biometric recognition and electronic financial transactions - to create a ground-breaking new retail payment service. The company needed a highly scalable, secure and easy-to-integrate platform to support its rapidly growing operations. Pay By Touch implemented a service-oriented architecture that helps the company integrate the diverse systems of companies that it acquires while remaining highly scalable to accommodate strong customer growth. The company is also collaborating with IBM to build Pay By Touch capabilities into IBM's leading point-of-sale software solution, making it easier for stores to take advantage of the service.
