Point of Sale Practice

May 24, 2006 -

Open Integration Consulting is proud to announce the addition of the Point of Sale Practice. David Gonzales, CEO and founder of Open Integration Consulting, indicated that this area has such potential for OIC that he has personally decided to head up this new organization.

The POS Practice is designed to guide Small and Mid-size Companies with the IT tasks that are required to open a new restaurant. David Gonzales has a long history of working both in the IT field as well as the Restaurant Industry and brings his deep knowledge of both industries together.

"Most POS providers today do not understand what is required to bring the entire POS solution to a success. Most vendors today focus only on their area of expertise and expect the client to integrate the solution and realize the ROI on the investment. Integration is the area that OIC has been involved in since its inceptions and this is a logical space for us to provide our expert consulting services" said Gonzales, CEO Open Integration Consulting, Inc..

Some of the key areas that the Practice is addressing are:

- Overall Project Management of POS and other related Information Technology areas from
planning to complete installation and on going operations.

- Evaluation and Selection of POS Solution

- Procurement and Installation of all POS equipment

- Sound and Audio Systems

- Phone and Data

- Kitchen Display Systems

- Lighting Systems

- Security Systems
