We leveraged our knowledge and looked to implement a strategy that focused on the industry leading experience for our customers
"It’s been a long journey," notes Brad Payne, PCI’s Senior Vice President of Global Operations. "At the earliest stages of our preparedness, we leveraged our knowledge and looked to implement a strategy that focused on the industry leading experience for our customers, pairing the best technologies while maximising ease of use, all with an eye towards allowing for scalability – knowing that at some point we would see the market finally reach maturity in terms of firm governmental requirements and a common framework."
