DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), announced today the launch of a new high-throughput imaging transport -- iTRAN 8000 -- designed for a new generation of image-based item processing. Building on the successful legacy of NCR's mid-volume 7780 transport, this new platform will provide an optimum combination of increased throughput, superior reliability, enhanced ergonomics and an improved user interface.
iTRAN 8000 is designed for institutions that want to use the latest in imaging technology to cost effectively process mid-to-high volumes of payments and remittances each day, with significantly improved throughput.
"The iTRAN 8000 imaging transport will play a strategic role in NCR's future item processing plans, and represents our continued commitment to our customers and business partners," said Jose Pincetic, senior vice president, NCR Payment Solutions. "Market studies strongly indicate that image adoption is on the rise, and that the industry is looking for a platform that offers increased throughput, high quality and strong business economics. NCR's iTRAN 8000 meets these needs and more."
Every aspect of the iTRAN 8000 mid-to-high volume transport has been designed to outperform any transport in its class. Using the latest technologies, its scalable features will meet the needs of the market, both today and for many years to come. And the sleek contemporary look adds more than just style. It's designed with the operator, processing environment, and the bottom line in mind.
In addition to offering an increased burst speed of 600 DPM (documents per minute), iTRAN 8000 delivers consistent throughput rates of up to 25,000 documents per hour in a typical processing environment, which is up to 40% higher than other products in its class. And, its availability rating is an impressive 98.7% -- substantially higher than other transports in the market today. This factor alone translates into lower costs per item and a superior return on investment.
iTRAN 8000's modular and scalable hardware design, and open systems architecture supports a wide range of image item processing applications which are available today through NCR and its solution partners. Solutions such as: proof-of-deposit, ATM balancing, remittance processing, and more. As with all transports, iTRAN 8000 runs with NCR's best in class transport controller software, WiseIP (Windows Integrated Services Environment for Item Processing), which allows for current applications to be quickly ported from any current NCR transport to iTRAN 8000.
"We are excited about iTRAN 8000 and the value it will bring to the market," said Mark Pitman, senior vice president of sales, Wausau Financial Systems. "The release of this state-of-the-art platform exemplifies NCR's commitment to the transaction processing industry. They have introduced a transport that offers technology-leading, best-in-class features which will deliver on the growing demands financial institutions have for imaging technology."
iTRAN 8000 is available for sale immediately through NCR and its authorized resellers. It will be featured at the BAI Transaction Processing Conference in April 2001. As with all NCR products, iTRAN 8000 is backed by NCR's global support services, help desk support and on-site maintenance.
