Windows Embedded POSReady - The next generation of WEPOS
POSReady 2009 is a flexible operating system designed to seamlessly connect point-of-service solutions with peripherals, servers, and services—helping OEMs and enterprises build the next generation of smart, connected, and increasingly service oriented POS solutions.
With POSReady, you can reduce costs, increase security, and have confidence in the reliability, familiarity, manageability, ongoing service, and system updates expected from all Windows platforms.
• POSReady gives retailers the flexibility to customise their image, and manage only those components that are needed through the add/remove feature.
• POS devices benefit from the security updates available through security and management technologies in Windows XP Professional SP3.
• Tools to lock/harden the image and reduce the attack surface assist in payment compliant standards such as PCI.
• Take advantage of world-class support and a 10-year product support lifecycle. With built-in networking capabilities and standards based plug and play support, POSReady makes it easy to connect POS solutions with peripherals, servers, and services.
• Plug and Play support. Integration with independent hardware is simplified using plug and play support for POS peripherals provided by POS for .NET.
• Hardware integration. POS devices can benefit from the support of USB mass storage and the convenience of a touch-screen keyboard.
• Built in networking capabilities:
° Remote device connectivity. POSReady enables connectivity with remote devices using technologies such as Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), new Terminal Services features and Windows Vista feature updates.
° Remote management. POSReady can be remotely deployed from Windows Server and managed using familiar tools such as Windows Update, System Center Configuration Manager, and System Center Operations Manager.

This solution requires a new media CD installation and may require minimal new coding but could offer a cost per license saving. Contact us now for more information:
