PCI Pal Rated Avaya-Compliant

Payment solutions provider PCI Pal's Agent Assist solution is now compliant with key Avaya contact center solutions, enabling companies to integrate telephone payment security into their existing Avaya telephone systems

PCI Pal's Agent Assist uses DTMF masking technology to intercept tones and hide payment card information that customers enter at the point of payment. Sensitive card data is concealed from customer service agents while keeping the line open for agents and customers to interact. The application is now compliance-tested by Avaya for compatibility with the Avaya Aura Experience Portal 7.2.3 using Avaya Session Border Controller for Enterprise 8.

"Compliance testing our Agent Assist application with Avaya Aura Experience Portal helps give customers looking to incorporate a PCI-compliant payment card security solution into their existing telephony and contact center infrastructure a number of benefits," said Darren Gill, chief revenue officer at PCI Pal, in a statement. "It also helps us deliver a more enhanced service to customers utilizing Avaya's market-leading communications solutions."

"PCI Pal provides a complete suite of card payment security solutions that help customers around the globe achieve PCI compliance within their contact centers, whether on premises or in the cloud," said Eric Rossman, vice president of partners, developers, and alliances at Avaya, in a statement. "We are delighted that its Agent Assist solution has successfully completed DevConnect compliance testing, helping Avaya customers confidently integrate the solution into their existing systems and processes."
