Retail solutions provider DigiPoS Systems` Retail Blade technology won a Microsoft Global Technology Innovation award at this year`s 2005 Microsoft Partner Programme Awards in Minneapolis in the US.
"The past year has been unparalleled in terms of innovative solutions Microsoft partners have developed and delivered to our mutual customers," said Allison Watson, VP of worldwide partner sales and marketing group at Microsoft, in naming the winner.
Retail Blade technology epitomised the spirit of the innovation award by delivering a change in point-of-service (POS), DigiPos Systems founder Graham Worsfold said.
"Retail Blade is the only standalone POS system with the benefits of Blade technology. This enables retailers using the technology to upgrade or repair their systems by sliding out the tray (blade) that is currently in the system, and sliding in a replacement or upgraded blade in minutes," Worsfold explained.
This functionality is made available without the need for a technician, change of software, or having to disconnect all the cables and send it back to the manufacturer, he continued.
