LAS VEGAS, March 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MURTEC SHOW,
Booth #22 — EarthLink Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: ELNK), a leading
managed network and cloud solutions provider for multi-location
businesses including hundreds of restaurants, has launched a new
bundled franchise solution at the 2015 Multi-Unit Restaurant
Technology Conference (MURTEC). EarthLink developed the
new solution after franchisors on its Retail
Advisory Council shared their need for an
all-inclusive offer that would protect their brand and customer
experience while being easy to implement for their
franchisees. The turnkey solution is designed for franchisees
with limited IT resources, and enables them to secure their data,
protect their brand assets and provide a consistent customer
experience across all of their locations.
The bundle of services includes PCI compliant IP VPN service
with managed router and firewall, PCI assessment tools and
assistance, and $100,000 of financial
breach protection per location. It also features Secure WiFi with
rogue device detection and quarantine, a social media platform to
connect guests to loyalty programs and drive a consistent customer
experience, and an optional offer engine to generate increasing
guest returns.
"Franchisors know that consistent execution and experience leads
to higher customer loyalty and repeat business, but often lack the
financial resources and technical savvy to tackle data security and
brand protection across all locations," said Greg Griffiths, Vice President of Product
Marketing, EarthLink. "Our new franchise solution cost-effectively
alleviates that burden so that operators can easily access the
technology, applications and security they need."
