Wallace Theater Group Expands Relationship with T3
Portland, OR and St. Louis, MO February 22, 2005 – Transaction Transport Technologies, LLC (T3), a leading provider of Transactions over Internet Protocol (ToIPSM) solutions designed to speed up the payment approval process announced today that Wallace Theaters, one of the largest theater chains in the United States, is expanding their relationship with T3 to include an additional 16 locations. Over time, Wallace plans to extend the service to all their locations.
T3 provides Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions designed to transport payment transactions and other financial data swiftly and securely over the public Internet. Because T3 does not require customer integrations or application programming changes, implementation is quick and easy. Wallace Theaters has operations in 12 states, Guam and the Pacific Rim. During pre-implementation testing, T3 worked with Crain/Atlanta, a provider of custom operating solutions for the theater market. Within hours, Crain had completed pre-testing with T3 and was ready to implement at the beta site.
Clyde Cornell, Vice President of Operations Wallace Theaters commented: “We are always looking for ways to speed up the payment process - be that at the box office or at the concession counter – to better serve our customers. So, when we learned of T3 about a year ago, we decided to give their ToIPSM SSL service a try at two of our properties. T3 worked with Crain/Atlanta, our software provider and in no time, we were up and running...it was easy. And, we have continued to implement T3 at other Wallace properties. We achieved our objective of improved customer service plus we lowered our transaction processing costs. It was a win all around.”
Added Tom Saey, President & CEO of T3: “At T3, we know that ToIPSM payment services need to deliver more than just fast approval processing. They must also be easy to implement, secure, and, save money. Wallace Theaters is validating what we already know. You must be able to support your customers all around - be it the consumer in line, the IT manager or the solution provider. We are very pleased that Wallace Theaters is expanding their relationship with us and we look forward to servicing them for many years to come.”
