Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and First Data launched a point-of-sale software-hardware package for small retailers. The system includes payment-processing, inventory management and sales tracking.
Called the First Data POS Value Exchange, the companies unveiled the joint product at the National Retail Federation Annual Convention & Expo being held this week in New York. Along with the partnership, Microsoft also launched Point of Sale 2.0 for small businesses and the Retail Management System 2.0 for medium-sized organizations. Both software packages fall under the software maker's Dynamics business applications brand.
