Microsoft links with VitalPay for payment processing

InfoWorld | at | by Mike

Microsoft has made an unspecified agreement with a payment processing company, in what could be another step toward establishing its own online payment system.

The agreement is with Symmetric Systems, which runs VitalPay , a payment processing platform.

Microsoft didn't detail in its announcement how technology from Symmetric Systems will be linked with its software. But Microsoft has a variety of point-of-sale software, CRM and Web-based offerings that could potentially integrate with Symmetric's offerings.
