Wincor Nixdorf marks ATM hardware, software milestones

January 28, 2003

PADERBORN, Germany -- Wincor Nixdorf reported two significant European deals that mark software and hardware milestones for the manufacturer during this week's Wincor World event in Paderborn, which wraps up on Jan. 30.

As part of a major software upgrade, Germany's HVB Group will move 950 ATMs, as well as self-service deposit machines (or cash recycling systems), to Wincor's ProClassic/Enterprise software.

Following this, HVB will migrate its non-cash equipment -- including statement printers, information- and transaction terminals -- from its current "fat client" architecture to Wincor's ProClassic/Enterprise technology.

According to a news release, the project will be completed within 18 months.

The aim, according to the release, is to move the diverse technology of installed self-service equipment which currently uses different applications with a variety of different host connections to Wincor's homogeneous, server-based ProClassic/Enterprise.

According to the release, HVB opted for ProClassic/Enterprise because of the scalability of the modular server architecture, the potential for ongoing independent development and the ability to reduce operating costs. Further reasons were the ability to integrate cash deposit and cash management functions.  

Wincor Nixdorf also announced that it will supply 50 ProConsult 2000 bank transfer terminals to Düren Savings Bank, a Wincor customer since 1994. With this deal, Wincor has installed a total of 25,000 Wincor Nixdorf account service terminals in banks and building societies across Germany.

According to a news release, the Pro Consult 2000 bank transfer terminal will allow Düren Savings Bank customers to place their electronic transfer instructions directly via the terminal. The system is equipped with a scanner allowing transfer mandate forms to be read automatically.

In addition to the bank transfer terminals, 52 Wincor Nixdorf ATMs, 84 statement printers and 129 passbook and receipt printers are available at Düren's 36 branches.
