Diamond 4.6 and Premier 8.3 Releases

POSIM Diamond 4.6 and POSIM Premier 8.3 have been released!

Both versions have changes to assist users in their efforts to become PCI compliant. In order to do this, all credit card data has been removed from the Diamond and Premier database.

PCI DSS regulations are currently being imposed on anyone obtaining a merchant account. The regulations will be imposed on existing merchant accounts at some point in the future. You can find out more here.

If you want to store credit card data it can be done securely in POSIM Charge (replaces NowCharge), which has been certified as PABP compliant. Diamond 4.6 and Premier 8.3 will only work with POSIM Charge, so if you are updating you must also update from NowCharge to POSIM Charge.

Diamond 4.6 and Premier 8.3 are available to support contract holders. If you are interested in upgrading please contact your local sales rep or Ensign.
