Sertifi Achieves Oracle Validated Integration with Oracle Hospitality OPERA

Chicago – Sertifi, a Gold level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), today announced it has achieved Oracle Validated Integration of Sertifi with Oracle Hospitality OPERA, eliminating paper authorization forms and the manual entry of payments into OPERA altogether. The new integration automates the payment and authorization process for front desk, reservations and sales and catering groups, while minimizing PCI scope with PCI compliance and validating payments in real time at the time of online capture.

To achieve Oracle Validated Integration, Oracle partners are required to meet a stringent set of requirements that are based on the needs and priorities of the customers. With Sertifi, hotel guests and meeting planners can conveniently submit payments online, taking an average of five minutes instead of 90 minutes with paper-based processes. The integration removes human touch from the payment collection phase, eliminating the risk of re-keying errors, sensitive data exposure, and laborious administration duties for everyone involved.

"Sertifi is a recognized eSignature and payments solution in the hospitality industry and collaborating with Oracle Hospitality strengthens both solutions because we're removing manual paper-based methods that increase PCI risk and slow down processing transactions. From a customer's perspective, they experience an easier way to submit payments because it's digitized, which works for their busy lifestyles," says Nick Stojka, Co-Founder of Sertifi.

"Achieving Oracle Validated Integration gives our customers confidence that the integrations between Sertifi and Oracle Hospitality OPERA Kiosk Interface and Oracle Hospitality OPERA Property for Hospitality Version 2 and Oracle Hospitality OPERA Property Kiosk Interface and OPERA 5 Property (Premium/Standard/Light 5.5x) is functionally sound and performs as tested," said David Hicks, vice president, Worldwide ISV, OEM and Java Business Development, Oracle. "For solutions deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or both, Oracle Validated Integration applies a rigorous technical review and test process that helps to reduce deployment risk and improves the user experience of the partner's integrated offering."

Sertifi is used by thousands of organizations and more than 8.7 million users around the world to close business in a safe, secure, and swift manner. The company provides the hospitality industry with the means to capture signed agreements via eSignatures and secure payments and authorizations in a way that meets today's digital lifestyles.
