    My IPA is a little rusty, but I think it would be [pa-sɪk].

    Is the "a" an "ahh" or an "aww"?

    Ahh. I don't think his company name is pronounced Paw even though he wrote it that way.

    It's a Point of Sale add-on for the e-Cloud. So probably whatever the correct way of saying 'POS' would be, I guess. I always spell it out - Pee-Oh-Ess.

    It would help if we had the origin of the name. That way we could get a more proper phonology.

    Yeah, everyone spells it out. I've never actually heard it said phonetically. You can't really phonetically sound it out as POS-IQ without it just sounding weird. No one calls them "Pos'".
