ATMs  
New guide analyzes, reviews state of ATM software 20 Mar 2007
ATM Marketplace is a sister site of SelfService.org.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — ATM Marketplace, a site dedicated to the financial self-service industry, has launched a guide that takes an in-depth look at multivendor ATM software in the United States and throughout the world.
The 53-page report, entitled “ATM software: Awakening the ATM channel,†was written by ATM Marketplace editor
Tracy Kitten
in partnership with Edinburgh, Scotland-based KAL, an independent financial self-service and branch software provider.
Deployers, as they shift their ATM operating systems from OS/2 to Windows, are realizing new opportunities for their ATM channels. No longer locked to one original equipment manufacturer for software, today’s open-OS environment is offering new opportunities.
“Although the industry has spent a long time talking about the shift to Windows, most of the
United States
’ ATMs still run on OS/2,†Kitten said. “That, however, is quickly changing. And, as it does, financial institutions are learning that they have more options available to them where software is concerned.â€
Industry consolidation has played a significant role in that revelation, Kitten said. As FIs have merged and/or been acquired, ATM networks have become blended. In fact, finding an ATM network that compromises machines from a sole hardware vendor is a rarity in today’s market place.
Today’s ATM networks are diverse, but open standards are allowing deployers to operate their blended networks on single platforms using multivendor software.
