DALLAS -- Carreker Antinori, Inc., a provider of integrated consulting and software solutions to the financial industry, will introduce a new, expanded ATM product line -- called eiService -- at the BAI's Retail Delivery '99 conference in Miami Beach. The new service includes an electronic, Internet-enabled infrastructure that provides automated, real-time communication between ATM deployers and their service providers. "Through a Web-based, open architecture, banks will now be able to manage their ATM fault management, dispatch and cash forecasting needs through a fully automated system," said Denny Carreker, chairman and CEO of Carreker-Antinori. In addition, Carreker-Antinori announced the signing of a letter of intent to acquire Toronto-based Automated Integrated Solutions, Inc. (AIS), a provider of advanced technologies driving the monitoring and communication requirements of large ATM networks. With this acquisition, Carreker-Antinori will gain two products: ATM Management System (AMS) technology, which provides the management of ATM systems through fault monitoring and automated dispatch and escalation; and Super Service Provider Gateway (SSPG), a Web-based facility that allows electronic communication between ATM deployers and their service providers. "With this acquisition, we now offer a superior alternative to competitive technologies. In fact, by the end of the first quarter of 2000, we expect to be in production at two of the five largest ATM networks in the United States," said Wyn Lewis, executive vice president of Revenue Enhancement, Carreker-Antinori. The AIS products, when integrated with Carreker-Antinori's ATM CashForecaster -- which optimizes the level of cash maintained in an ATM with the cost of transportation and forecasts daily customer withdrawals to avert potential currency outages -- will be included in the new eiService suite. The eiService suite will be offered within Carreker-Antinori's Liquidity Management group and also incorporates the recently announced transportation services group. Jim McHale will serve as the managing director of the new group. Carreker-Antinori's customers include 170 financial institutions in the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, including 70 of the largest 100 banks in the U.S.
