NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR), the global leader in consumer transaction
technologies, today announced that it has signed a software professional
service agreement with Hua Xia Bank to transform its banking services
with NCR’s latest multi-vendor software application, NCR APTRA Activate.
The software will run on the bank’s entire fleet of multi-vendor ATMs,
self-service kiosks for card issuance and account enquiry kiosks
nationwide. NCR will provide implementation maintenance for the new
platform, which is expected to begin this fall.
By deploying APTRA Activate for Hua Xia Bank, it will be the first time
in China that a bank’s ATM network as well as its non-cash transaction
kiosks will be running on NCR’s multi-vendor software. Upon completion,
Hua Xia Bank will enjoy a stable and secure software environment. APTRA
Activate will allow Hua Xia Bank customers to have consistent
experiences across all hardware in the bank’s self-service channel, and
it will integrate with the bank’s current infrastructure.
By using a single self-service application, Hua Xia Bank will be able to
make more efficient use of IT resources and become more productive in
application development.
“Hua Xia Bank always strives to delight customers and we, at NCR, are
pleased in entering such an exciting project with it. The agreement is a
true recognition of the multi-vendor capability of NCR software
application and a vote of trust for our professional services team’s
software skills and services expertise,” said Gary Miao, president of
NCR Greater China, Financial Services. “This complex and large-scale
project involves the integration and running of both cash and non-cash
transaction machine types. With NCR’s proven multi-vendor migration
expertise in a broad range of consumer transaction technologies, we are
confident that we will be able to meet Hua Xia’s requirements by
transforming its customer experience, making their everyday transaction
easier.”
NCR also will help the bank’s self-service network to gradually migrate
to Windows 7.
