PAR PixelPoint’s first annual Partner Conference was a great success and proved to be an extremely valuable
few days for all those that attended.
The Partner Conference was held on March 26-29th 2008 at the MGM Conference Centre with accommodations
at The Signature at MGM in sunny Las Vegas, Nevada. In typical Las Vegas style the grounds were
simply amazing and the conference centre it self proved to be an exceptional venue for all of the educational
and social events that were held.
Having a very good representation of the PAR PixelPoint Partner Channel under one roof was beneficial in a
multitude of ways. The social, networking and information sharing that was prevalent everyday produced
some really great results – this alone made the trip worth it for many of those that attended. But when you
add to the mix the introduction of PAR PixelPoint’s largest product release in recent time with POS Version 9,
the introduction of new products to the channel such as iQuality and inQuire plus presentations from PAR’s
President, Greg Cortese and PAR PixelPoint’s COO, Lino D’Angicco and you had the recipe for a very beneficial
few days for all involved with PAR products.
One of the Key presentations that all in attendance was looking forward to was the release of PixelPoint POS
Version 9. As aforementioned Ver.9 is the largest POS release in many years and banks on PixelPoint’s already
long list of industry leading features and functionality. The most visible addition of this new release is its
greatly enhanced User Interface. Ver.9 now allows practically unlimited options when it comes to setting up
how the POS appears to the user. Now fully customizable, Ver.9 adds an entirely new ‘wow factor’ to
PixelPoint POS user interface, allowing it leap ahead of all other POS products on the market.
One of the new features that has created a huge buzz since its release has been the addition of Kiosk
functionality within Ver.9. This addition has allowed PixelPoint to penetrate new markets within the hospitality
market and again, puts PAR PixelPoint on the top of the market with its leading functionality.
Another key feature that has set Ver.9 apart is the addition of a vastly improved and fully animated customer
display. This will allow greater flexibility when it comes to up-sell capabilities from the POS and increases
order accuracy at the same time. With the ability to incorporate animated Flash and WebPages to the customer
display it has truly increased the ‘wow factor’ into the PixelPoint POS product.
