Santa to Use DOTS Address Geocode, Rudolph’s Fears Allayed
SANTA BARBARA, CA — December 23, 2008 — Service Objects announced today that its DOTS 
Address Geocode Web Service will play an important role as Santa Claus drives his sleigh around the world tomorrow night. Now that Santa’s sleigh is equipped with GPS tracking and DOTS Address Geocode, Santa will be able to perform property-level geocoding so he can plot his route better than ever.
Unnamed sources report that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer expressed concern that DOTS Address Geocode might make him obsolete. Santa, however, assures us that the lead reindeer will still be needed. “When it’s foggy, I need that glowing red nose so I don’t collide with any low-flying aircraft!” the jolly old man said.
Customers from all over the world rely on DOTS Address Geocode as a trusted source to provide latitude and longitude information. NORAD uses several high-tech systems to track Santa, but GPS plays a vital role. The moment that Santa lifts off, he will use DOTS Address Geocode to locate children around the world.

How Can You Lower Risk, Cost, and Grief with Online Credit Card Transactions?
|
Unfortunately, there isn’t a bullet-proof solution when it comes to avoiding online credit card fraud. Fraudulent transactions take place on a regular basis, by the millions. Not even PayPal* or Amazon can eliminate fraud. Address Verification System** (AVS) checks the inputted address against the credit card billing info that the consumer has provided at checkout. But if this person is using information from stolen credit card information, then the billing info and credit card number provided will still be correct. And then there is debit card and gift card fraud! |
