ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - March 2, 2010) -  Ingenico, the global leader in secure transaction and payment solutions, continues its innovative path to provide business owners and merchants with the most secure and scalable mobile commerce solutions.

Today the company introduced Ingenico ROAM suite of mobile applications including ROAMpay and ROAMbuy to help sales agents, mobile workforce professionals, and merchants reach and service consumers on their own mobile phones.

"Mobile Commerce represents the ultimate convenience for mobile users to conduct business anytime anywhere. Our products provide a robust and agile mix of mCommerce services including credit and debit payment acceptance, mobile storefront, and customized enterprise business applications to end users." 

Recently Ingenico made a global strategic investment to work with ROAM Data Inc., a Boston-based mobile application service provider and their technology to deliver a breakthrough mobile commerce solution.
