The Customer
Accents is a popular retail shop featuring styles that cater to the fashion-centric women of the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex.

Challenges
With fewer people carrying cash, a break in connectivity can cause the store to refuse revenue or take card payments against PCI compliance. Charging a card without authorization can open a store to security risks, fraud, and other vulnerabilities. Security and loss of revenue are not the only concerns caused by a connection malfunction. Frustrated customers can take to social media, causing lasting damage to your brand’s reputation.
Besides all the challenges above, North Texas’ unpredictable weather has caused numerous connectivity interruptions in the past year. In order to maintain a growing business, Accents decided to look into business continuity options.
