DAYTON, Ohio — NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) has signed an agreement with Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) to provide APTRA Edge open-architecture, client-server software to power the bank's advanced-function ATMs.
"APTRA addresses a full breadth of complex and diverse business initiatives, based on a single integrated software platform architecture," said Keith Taylor, senior vice president of NCR's Financial Solutions Division. "We are very excited about expanding our existing relationship with Bank of America as they join a growing list of clients driving advanced ATM functionality."
According to a news release, More than 70 percent of all multi-vendor projects worldwide currently run on NCR's Windows-based APTRA platform, which enables advanced transactions such as personal preferences, voice guidance and "no envelope" deposit.
"This move will allow us to deploy a single application environment across our multi-vendor ATM network of more than 16,000 ATMs," said Tom Korzik, Bank of America ATM executive. "It gives us the ability to decrease the time and cost involved in developing and initiating new functions across our network."
