Card Briefs: GlobeSet Launches Merchant Adapter

GlobeSet Inc., a provider of electronic commerce software for the MasterCard-Visa SET standard and other security protocols, has introduced a Merchant Adapter system compatible with Microsoft Corp.'s Internet merchant server.

The Merchant Adapter version 2.1 works in conjunction with the GlobeSet POS, one of the certified SET, or Secure Electronic Transaction, software products.

In conjunction with Microsoft Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition, the GlobeSet adapter can "plug and play" with virtually any existing Site- Server-based storefront, GlobeSet said. Among other capabilities, it lets merchants simultaneously process transactions under both the SET and SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, protocols.

"Customers around the world are asking for" SET-SSL flexibility, said Michael Pinckney, marketing manager in Microsoft's commerce application developers customer unit.

Electronic commerce servicers that have installed GlobeSet software "now have a merchant integration solution that can simplify their customers' efforts to make secure electronic commerce a reality," said Dennis Jolly, GlobeSet's vice president of sales, marketing, and operations.
