• The CardEasy application is compatible with key Avaya  customer engagement solutions
• Helps businesses take card payments over the phone in a PCI DSS-compliant  manner

London, UK - 19 May, 2017 — Syntec, a leading UK network operator and managed services provider, today announced that its CardEasy MOTO payment solution is compliant with key customer engagement solutions from Avaya, a global provider of business communications software, systems and services.

CardEasy helps businesses resolve PCI DSS compliance in their contact centres. With CardEasy, agents, along with screen and call recordings, do not hear, see, or store sensitive card numbers, allowing businesses to de-scope their contact centres from PCI DSS.  The application is now compliance-tested by Avaya for compatibility in the following configurations:

• Avaya Aura® Communication Manager 7.0 using an ISDN trunk
• Avaya Aura Communication Manager 7.0, Avaya Aura Application Enablement Services 7.0 and Avaya Session Border Controller for Enterprise (SBCE) 7.1 using a SIP trunk
• Avaya Aura Communication Manager 7.0, Avaya Aura Session Manager 7.0 and Avaya SBCE 7.1 using a SIP trunk

Syntec is a Technology Partner in the Avaya DevConnect program—an initiative to develop, market and sell innovative third-party products that interoperate with Avaya technology and extend the value of a company’s investment in its network.  

As a Technology Partner, Syntec is eligible to submit products for compliance testing by the Avaya Solution Interoperability and Test Lab. There, a team of Avaya engineers develops a comprehensive test plan for each application to verify whether it is Avaya compatible. Doing so enables businesses to confidently add best-in-class capabilities to their network without having to replace their existing infrastructure—speeding deployment of new applications and reducing both network complexity and implementation costs.
