Only by pursuing Innovation can you differentiate your company from others in the market. Innovation does not have to be new products or services but just a new way of doing business. Over his career in both telecommunication and the payment industry Nick Green has been involved in defining of working with innovative products and services. In telecommunication he developed new test equipment for telex circuits [telex? - it's what we had before email; click here if you're really interested] and designed and modified logic circuitry for the Northamptonshire Fire Brigade mobilisation system.
Early experiences within Barclaycard Business Research included Kiosk information systems that were superceded before they were launched by the explosive growth of the internet and more importantly with IC Card technology and products.
With years spent with the acquiring of transaction through point of sale terminal Nick has developed a number of innovative ways of doing business or adding value to existing business. He invented the technique for ordering stationery electronically using a point of sale terminal that was later patented by the company who developed the service for Barclaycard.
He designed the message structures and functionality for Dynamic Currency Conversion [DCC] for an off-line terminal and months later went through the same process for an on-line terminal [something no-one else had attempted]. Neither product made it to the market because the business case was marginal and DCC continues to be a niche product.
