Five graduate students from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, Integrated Media and Communications were given the reins at Ingenico ePayments to explore a project centered around the Payment Moment of Truth (PMOT).
Cecilia Aycinena, Yo-Ting Hung, Peiyuan “Suki” Shao, YingYing “Arielle” Su and Jiayue “Jess” Yang spent 11 weeks in the Summer Immersion Quarter learning the ins and outs of data analysis, ePayment software and teambuilding.

Payments security is top of mind for most merchants in the U.S. But what’s new? What should merchants be aware of about payment security?

This is a guest post from the PCI Security Standards Council. It was originally published on the PCI Perspectives Blog as an interview with PCI SSC Senior Director of Data Security Standards, Emma Sutcliffe.
Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQ) are forms used by eligible organizations to report the results of a PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) self-assessment. Earlier this year, the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) issued revised SAQs for use with PCI DSS version 3.2. In this Q&A with PCI SSC Senior Director of Data Security Standards Emma Sutcliffe, we look at what merchants need to know about new updates to the SAQs.
“Omni-channel” has become a buzz word in retail, but it’s a concept with wide potential across many industries, including healthcare. Omni-channel, also known as multi-channel, is about being able to interact with customers through multiple communication channels. These include face-to-face or in-facility (in-store), mobile and online interactions. Omni-channel is also a means of providing customers with a seamless, consistent experience across all channels, which helps ensure outstanding service and builds loyalty.
