HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C. — Paragon Application Systems, provider of electronic-payment simulation, configuration and testing software, has signed with China-based ATM manufacturer GRG Banking Equipment Company Ltd. to provide its FASTest and ATMulator Plus software to the ATM manufacturer.
"The ATM market is at a pivotal point and GRG Banking appears poised to emerge as a major global ATM provider," said Jim Perry, Paragon's vice president of sales and marketing. "We are pleased GRG Banking selected Paragon as their e-payment testing provider, and we look forward to working with them as they continue to grow their market share."
According to a news release, GRG will use Paragon's FASTest and ATMulator Plus to develop, test and demonstrate new ATM features.
