Stay Current & Protected with the CSS

You have a significant investment in your computer system—time, money, and hard work.

The CounterPoint Subscription Service (CSS) keeps your system up to date automatically. CSS will help you get the most out of your CounterPoint V7 or CounterPoint SQL system. With CSS, you receive new software features and corrections as they are added to CounterPoint. CSS updates are shipped on CD (DVD for CounterPoint SQL) twice a year. The annual CSS fee includes shipping and handling to all destinations in the continental U.S.

With CSS, you get:

  • NEW features

  • NEW technology

  • Visa CISP Compliance

  • Software corrections

  • Updated documentation

  • Access to user-only areas of the Radiant Web site

One year of CSS is required with each new CounterPoint purchase. Radiant strongly recommends that every CounterPoint user continue to take advantage of CSS after the first year.

Join us March 4-6, 2009 for CONNECT 2009, our 10th Annual CounterPoint User Conference.

For our 10th anniversary we are taking over Baltimore's Inner Harbor. We have sessions dedicated to running your business more efficiently, developing a highly-motivated staff, new features and functions of your CounterPoint system, and more! CONNECT 2009 will provide you with the power to strengthen customer loyalty, increase sales and control your operating costs.

Not only are we providing in-depth breakout sessions, but we are pleased to have celebrated guest speaker Bob Negen. Bob understands the challenges and opportunities every business owner faces and how to deal with them. His hard-hitting and often hilarious stories come from over two decades building his own business from $17,000 in annual sales to a multi-store, multi-million dollar operation.

We're also pleased to offer you the opportunity to enjoy a night at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. We will start the night by touring the aquarium and end with a dinner reception in the Mammal pavilion. Mingle and network with other attendees, or the dolphins!

This is the one conference you won't want to miss.

Is Your Business At Risk?
If You Aren't CISP Compliant ... It Is

Imagine this: A customer—we'll call her Mary—purchases a toy in your store with a credit card. Mary's credit card information is temporarily stored in your computer systems. Fred, your clerk, is a little short on rent money this month. Fred accesses your computer systems and steals Mary's card information. Fred sells that information to a willing buyer, and through a complex series of transactions, that cardholder information is eventually obtained by John. John uses Mary's credit card information to go on a weekend vacation to the mountains. Did you know that your bank will make you pay for John's vacation plus hefty fines ($50,000, $100,000 and more)?

And this is just one card—and one vacation. How much could this cost you if Fred takes information from many customers because he's always short on rent money?

Call us today to learn more.
