Global Payments Europe, the primary provider of processing services to
the largest banking groups in Central and Eastern Europe, is increasing its
usage of Level Four Software’s ATM Developer solution to strengthen
its ATM estate and reach out to new territories. Already the leading
provider of cashless payment services for corporate clients in the Czech
Republic, Global Payments Europe is now using ATM Developer to
extend its ATM processing services to Slovakia and Poland.
Global Payments Europe and Level Four recognize that the demand for
improved solutions for electronic payments is growing in Eastern Europe.
A study commissioned by ACI Worldwide and Financial Insights in 2006
reveals that the region is set to experience the largest electronic
payment growth rates of 21.6 percent to EUR25.8bn over the next five
years, which will have an impact on the ATM channel.
With a network of approximately 1,800 ATMs, ATM Developer provides
Global Payments Europe with the capacity to offer consistently robust
and thoroughly tested ATM configurations regionally and now
internationally. Dedicated to developing and delivering state-of-the-art
products and services, Global Payments Europe originally deployed ATM
Developer in 2004 to respond quickly to business and customer needs.
Ian Kerr, Level Four CEO, said, “The ability to react quickly to
customer demands and to provide leading-edge business solutions is a key
competitive differentiator for banks and processors. ATM Developer
provides robust end-to-end transaction configuration and testing,
quickly and efficiently. Global Payments Europe has chosen ATM Developer
to simplify the development process and ensure testing consistency
across all countries it operates in. We are delighted to help them drive
their business forward.”
Level Four’s ATM Developer provides a comprehensive configuration file
management solution for NDC/912 based ATM networks. Typically, ATM
screen presentation and transaction flows have remained static due to
the complexities of updating this content, but due to increasing
business demands as well as regulatory technical issues this situation
is changing.
ATM Developer provides a graphical user interface to manage ATM
configuration files, for both screen content and logical transaction
flow. ATM deployers are able to make changes quickly to respond to
business and customer needs. Configuration files can then be tested
online against host systems before being deployed throughout the
network. The time to market of new ATM content is dramatically reduced
and the user is shielded from the complexities of ATM protocols.
