Hardware Performance

The PRESSPOiNTS’ hardware is constantly being monitored for quality performance and assurance. The information is accessible for review and measures various aspects of the hardware for operational failures. It also performs comparative analyses measuring the performance of one PRESSPOiNT™ against the predetermined norm. Any deviation from the norm measured against PRESSPOiNTS in similar environments and/or similar usage.

Software Performance

Software performance is measured constantly. This data is used by the R&D Department to evaluate and improve all systems. PEPC’s Control Center receives signal log-files, change management acceptances and service checks from every machine.

Hits per screen per PRESSPOiNT

Every screen hit – when someone actually touches the screen – is recorded and monitored. This data is not only important to measure hardware performance, but is also important to ascertain and gauge advertising direct views for both the advertiser and PEPC.

Advertisement

Actual advertising run time on each PRESSPOiNT™ is measured per second and is logged and documented. This information is collected in PEPC’s Control Center and is accessible for advertisers to validate their advertising.

Sold Newspaper Account

The total amount of sold papers is tracked and recorded every day for each PRESSPOiNT™ and for each title. This information is available for each publisher. Publishers can view sales status of their newspaper via the PEPC website. In addition, every Official PEPC Dealer and every PRESSPOiNT™ owner can follow the activity and performance of their PRESSPOiNT(S), as well.

Credit Card Management

Every 24-hours, all payment activities are encrypted, collected and transmitted to Denmark. In Denmark, payments are cleared and transferred back to PEPC. After clearing, payments are credited accordingly to each PRESSPOiNT™ and then accrued with previously cleared transactions by the PRESSPOiNT™ involved. At a predetermined time, the accounting of each machine takes place and payments are transferred to PRESSPOiNT owners.
