SchlumbergerSema has launched EMV Lifecycle Services, a package of customised end-to-end solutions to enable banks worldwide to optimise their EMV (Europay, MasterCard, Visa) processes and deploy new smart card-based services.
SchlumbergerSema EMV Lifecycle Services combine the company's portfolio of smart card-based products with business and technical consulting, business modelling and risk management tools, training, project management, systems integration and outsourcing.
Banks will be able to use the SchlumbergerSema offering to minimise EMV migration costs and timescale, as well as leverage the new infrastructure to provide additional services such as loyalty, e-purse, and smart ticketing, says the company.
James Lee, senior vice president, emerging technology at Visa International, says: "Moving to EMV requires substantial effort, and our member banks need professional support from companies such as SchlumbergerSema during the entire process."
