David Evans | Market Platform Dynamics
"Innovation in this business is moving to "the cloud". …Market Platform Dynamics are working closely with the leader in this area, a Denver based company called IP Commerce. It's developed a software platform that sort of sits on top of the payments system, you can think of it as Windows for the payments system. It works with point of sale devices like Verifone and processing platforms like those operated by First Data Corporation, in much the same way that Windows works with printers and other peripherals.
Other companies can then build applications on top of the IP Commerce Platform; that moves innovation out to the edge of the system away from the old messy plumbing out to the edge of the system. Paysimple, another company we're working with, has a web based application that allows SMBs to quickly accept multiple methods of electronic payments and to integrate all of their transactions directly into their accounting software."
