DAYTON, Ohio, Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- NCR Corporation and Novantas have signed a joint referral agreement for customers in the financial services industry. These companies will benefit from the combination of Novantas' experience in strategic management consultancy with the customer insight provided by NCR's Value Analyzer(TM) customer relationship management (CRM) application. The partnership enables financial services organizations to make strategic plans based on a solid understanding of their customers' demographics and behavior.
"Value Analyzer provides our clients with a world-class profitability measurement solution to build their CRM strategies," stated Tina Koch, vice president of Teradata Division Financial Services.
