New Answers to the Old Question, "Paper or Plastic?" Will Check Books Be Eliminated by Contactless Payments in the Check Out Line?
DALLAS, Texas - Mar. 19, 2007 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- JDP Enterprises Publishing (Linx Payment Systems LLC) announces release of "Surfing Payment Channels" (ISBN 978-0-9788698-0-9), a new book produced by payments expert, James D. Pitts. The book focuses on changes in the payments system as it evolves from paper to paperless. New laws (Check 21), new technology (RFID, contactless, bio metrics, mobile devices), and a growing demand for flexibility, convenience and control on a real-time basis are exceeding traditional payments system capabilities. These pressures are causing re-engineering of the highly complex and ever so crucial set of systems that support the economic health of a commercially flourishing society.
