NCR APTRA program earns Elan certification

May 13, 2013

NCR Corp. recently announced that Elan Financial Services has certified NCR APTRA software on its network for multi-vendor environments, broadening its applicability across multi-vendor ATM fleets.

The Elan network drives more than 33,000 ATMs for financial institutions across the U.S. Many of these FIs operate mixed-vendor fleets that include ATMs from NCR and other manufacturers. Elan certification of APTRA Edge for multi-vendor environments will help these FIs, the company said in a news release.

Consolidation on a single software platorm provides the bank customer a consistent user experience — at the same time allowing the FI to streamline and support operations as they dispense with maintenance and enhancements for separate delivery infrastructures.

The country's largest financial institutions have enjoyed the benefits of multi-vendor ATM software for years. However, NCR estimates that only one percent of U.S. financial institutions with less than $50 billion in assets have installed multi-vendor software applications.

"As we continue to prioritize the development and growth of our software platforms, it's essential that we deliver key applications for use in multi-vendor environments,"  said Joe Gallagher, vice president and general manager for software at NCR Financial Services. "With certification on leading networks such as Elan, NCR multi-vendor software adoption is poised to grow." 

Research from Retail Banking Research recently named NCR the worldwide leader in multi-vendor ATM software.
