Bernard Zimmermann, Director of POS Solutions, has claimed on his company blog today that our work on eziPass is not being done for free. Bernard has knowingly published false and misleading information. While I’d rather ignore this, I have to make it clear that eziPass is free.
My software company, Tower Systems, has developed eziPass and borne all costs. We make no commission, rebate or any benefit from transactions on eziPass. We receive no compensation from sign up. Nothing. Bernard knows this. He and I have personally discussed it.
What Bernard has published today is disappointing and will confuse some. I guess that he has done this because it’s the only way he can try and pull focus from eziPass.
Plenty of POS Solutions users are about to start using eziPass, it is available for all newsagents and is free.
UPDATE (5:19PM) Bernard has posted more on his blog this afternoon about this. True to form, it is inaccurate. Bernard is not banned from this blog, no one is. Any comment he posts here is published without change.
Your vicious rebuke does you no credit either. Your bitter words indicate atwo businessmen I would choose to avoid.
Mary, I don’t think Mark’s response is trying to credit, rather clarify. As for credit, why wouldn’t you credit if he’s rewarding his clients, and those who are not, something for free?
Joseph, the bitter words do not add dignity to Mark’s case. Free or not, I would think twice about dealing with someone who has caustic comment on what is, after all, a promotional website. People need to put their best foot forward, rather than tit-for-tat in public with their opposition. Just my thoughts about ethics and courtesy, Joseph. Why stoop to people who you believe are not worth the trouble?
Mary, You may call my words bitter, I say they are not. I feel no bitterness toward POS Solutions. What I feel is anger at continued gross misrepresentation and this is reflected in my words.
As for your comment about this being a promotional website, you’re entitled to your view. I suggest you have based that on a view yo want rather than a view based on the entire body of work.
