     PCI Compliance - The "Black Box Server"
         meets all PCI and PA-DSS standards.


For those that are curious about technical specifications, Fore! Reservations is coded in Visual Studio using a SQL Server 2008 Express database. This database resides on the Fore! Reservations "Black Box Server" (pictured on the right), which is necessary to comply with all credit card industry PCI and PA-DSS guidelines. There are many reasons why we chose this technology as the backbone of our solution to run your operation efficiently and securely including:

Pre-Configured - The Fore! Reservations Black Box Server comes to your operation ready to "plug and play." There is no need to sub-contract out expensive IT personnel or purchase sophisticated consulting services. The server also comes with a 3-year on-site warranty to guarantee sustainability.

Audited and Secure - As you proceed through your credit card processor's Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), you can correctly answer many questions when it comes to proper credit card storage and hardware requirements with the Black Box Server in place. The Black Box Server helps keep the operation secure, meets all PCI and PA-DSS guidelines regarding the lock-down of data, while at the same time keeping costs down.

Better Support - With the same pre-configured Black Box Server installed across all Fore! Reservations golf courses, Fore! Reservations can better support our clients and deliver faster results. With similarity, there are less variables to troubleshoot in times of duress.

Properly Sized for Speed and Performance - The Black Box Server was designed by the Fore! Reservations Development and Customer Support Teams to ensure that the hardware met all of our strict standards. This way, we can be assured that the golf course does not overpay for hardware features it does not need, nor will it rely on an outdated server that cannot handle the infrastructure requirements.
