December 19, 2001
DALLAS --S2 Systems, Inc., a global provider of transaction processing and authorization software for the banking and financial services market, has signed an agreement with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) to replace ANZ's existing proprietary system with S2's OpeN/2 application for Windows 2000.
According to an S2 Systems news release, its OpeN/2 payment switching product is capable of driving multiple applications for ATM and EFT/POS processing and check management. Integration modules enable interoperability with disparate systems -- and interfaces provide a customer link via ATMs, EFT/POS terminals, card readers, Web browsers, mobile phones, PDAs and other devices. .
"With this open architecture project, expected outcomes include lower costs, improved customer service, quicker time-to-market, and positioning ANZ to integrate with an expanded array of consumer-direct technologies," said David Boyles, ANZ's CIO.
