Protx acquired by Sage
Link: Protx acquired by Sage
Populer merchant payment processing gateway, Protx, has been acquired by Sage.
It appears the giant of accountancy and money management is looking to integrate its software direct with online processing:
The sale will give Sage the capability to integrate the Protx secure payment systems with their business management software, opening up new possibilities for potential and existing merchants. In time, merchants will be able to link and integrate their payment processing with back-office accounting, stock control and CRM applications in one business solution.
Overall, it’s an interesting move, especially in light of how other companies are trying to integrate various online and offline activities - not least Google and Microsoft.
However, this could very much provide a taster of what Google and Microsoft may both be trying to achieve in the longterm.
After all, Google already has it’s own online office management software, but has yet to integrate it with with PPC marketing.
A glimpse of the future of online processing, perhaps?
