Volanté POS Systems of Toronto, Canada, offers a POS solution that has been developed entirely in Java. Java is cross platform compatible and operates in multiple environments - this gives the user freedom to choose Linux, Windows 2000/XP, or Windows and Linux. For many operators, having a choice is key.

Not only does Java provide cross platform compatibility, but like Linux, using Java POS solutions can be cost effective as well, as Java allows users the opportunity to save on additional Windows license fees, as an example. Java's open standard architecture allows the entire system to be compatible with third party industrial applications. Users are free to choose their operating environment and are not bound to costly proprietary restrictions.

Volanté also offers integration with Windows-based back office applications. This flexibility is rare in the POS industry. For more information on Volanté's Linux & Java POS solutions, visit their website at www.volantesystems.com
