Leaf Wireless today announced the finalisation of a strategic partnership agreement with Intellect, a leading global provider of secure electronic transaction solutions for the smart card terminal market.
The partnership is aimed to tightly align the IP of both companies through reciprocal systems and solution design, bi-directional flow of IP driven by a collaborative market development strategy.
"We build instruments fine-tuned to specific markets, local legislation, and the unique strategies of our clients," commented Wens Brinkman, Chief Marketing Officer of Intellect. "Whether delivering powerful, flexible and secure devices or secure key handling solutions such as the encryption keys used by the banks themselves, Intellect is always focused on the people involved with our business. From customer interaction to device management, Intellect solutions are carefully crafted to meet our users needs, whether they are a cardholder, merchant, retail bank or a distributor."
"That`s why we`ve partnered Leaf Wireless, since through their multi-bearer platforms we can take our range beyond the devices, to deliver solutions that are more context related," continued Brinkman. "We look at the challenges that were being faced, such as trying to find a terminal that can take payments, run loyalty schemes and even reload customers` e-Purse cards. That is why we created PAX, the multi-tasking, real-time operating system powering our latest devices.
We have a depth of experience in product development and implementation unrivalled in the electronic transaction market alongside a partner network of like-minded companies. Thus, the partnership we have established with Leaf Wireless is strategic and synergistic for the achievement of our African objectives."
"Intellect is an innovative solution provider for the electronic transaction market," added Brandon Leigh, CEO of Leaf Wireless. "Their products complement and integrate with many of the solutions we are providing in the local market. Our partnership will provide the opportunity to maximise the impact of our joint solutions on a global scale."
"To support African market development, we are looking to appoint appropriate system integrators and value-added resellers` existing and future solutions."
