LONDON -- NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) says that it has received "Ready for Tivoli" certification from IBM for its APTRA ATM software products.
According to a news release, the integration of NCR's APTRA with Tivoli Configuration Manager for ATMs allows inventory management of all the software and hardware running on a self-service network, including the remote deployment of new and upgraded software and the retrieval of log files.
Steve Osborne, general manager of software and services in NCR's Financial Solutions Division, said in the release, "The need to regularly update software and effectively manage assets is crucial. It is important to NCR that our customers can now use other market-leading management tools such as the Tivoli Configuration Manager for ATMs as part of their self-service solution."
IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager for ATMs allows customers to determine system configuration and distribute application upgrades or related information such as advertising to distant ATMs from a single, central location. It also monitors all components, including those specific to ATMs.
Bob Madey, vice president of Tivoli Software, IBM, said, "The integration with NCR's APTRA enables our joint customers to better manage and implement software across their ATM network, allowing them to more readily take advantage of new opportunities."
