"Al-FarisŪ Business Consultings unique approach is the winning combination with Aconite's expertise and we acknowledge Al-Faris unique position as the only serious partner for EMV," he added.
"Al-FarisŪ recognizes that there are challenges for all our clients in the banking sector," said Haitham Al-Faris, CEO. "We want to see our banking clients become compliant with EMV compliance mandate by the deadline of January 2006, but also our expert consulting services will help them reap the EMV business benefits beyond the compliance issues," Mr. Al-Faris continued.
