NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR) is the world’s largest supplier of
multivendor ATM middleware and applications, according to new research
published by strategic research and consulting firm RBR.
In addition, more financial institution ATMs in North America and the
Middle East and Africa region rely on NCR’s APTRATM
software suite than any other provider.
RBR’s “Multivendor Software 2013” report shows that 740,000 ATMs
globally run multivendor software1, an approximately 60
percent increase since 2009. The study also included interviews with 66
financial services organizations in 38 different countries with
deployments among them of more than 390,000 ATMs, which revealed great
potential for further adoption of multivendor software.
“Over the past several years, NCR has been engaged in a re-invention of
the company around a hardware-enabled, software-driven business
strategy,” said Jeff Hughes, vice president and general manager of
Software, NCR Financial Services. “The delivery of software in a
multivendor environment is a critical component of this strategy, as
multivendor software streamlines a bank’s development and maintenance
processes and enables a dynamic – yet cost effective – customer
experience.”
Consolidating on a single software application enables financial
institutions to project a consistent and rich consumer experience across
their self-service networks. In addition, a multivendor environment
helps financial institutions streamline their development and support
operations by not having to maintain and enhance multiple, separate
delivery infrastructures for each new function or service that they
offer. NCR estimates that financial institutions can save more than
$124,000 per 100 ATMs each year by moving to an NCR multivendor software
platform.2
