10, Country, GERMANY, PriorityBy Robert McKinley 08/15/2013

NCR Corporation partnered Sparkasse KölnBonn to deploy “SelfServ 26” advanced cash dispense ATMs. Featuring an integrated anti-skimming solution, backed by NCR Second Line Maintenance (SLM) and installation services, “SelfServ 26” ATMs offers a secure and reliable customer experience. With a self-healing technology allows the ATMs to automatically and quickly recover from “soft” failures with no need for service intervention, and a typical Second Line Maintenance response time of 4 hours ensures maximum uptime, thus increasing the return on investment of the ATM network. NCR can pre-install the systems in the central warehouse of the bank, connect each of them to the data center, test and then deliver the already operational NCR SelfServ systems and install them on site. The time required for the software installation of the self-service systems, which normally takes three and a half hours, is reduced to only ten minutes.
