NCR Answers Need for Distributed Branch Image Capture with New Low Volume Transport Strategy

May 22, 2001 at 10:34 AM EDT

DAYTON, Ohio, May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) will help financial institutions seamlessly evolve into distributed branch capture thanks to a new low volume transport strategy fully integrated with NCR's back-office processing solutions. Distributed branch capture can lower the cost of check processing, accelerate check clearing and position a bank for image-based check truncation.

Under a global reseller agreement with Digital Check Corporation (DCC) of Northfield, Ill., NCR will offer a complete range of low volume transports -- from a small teller scanner through unattended, back-office branch devices. These multi-purpose devices are also well suited for remittance processing and microfilm replacement.

All scanners will be integrated with NCR's unique transport controller interface, WiseIP (Windows Integrated Services Environment for Item Processing), which simplifies the application development process and provides an easy-to-use Microsoft(R) Windows(R) NT interface. WiseIP enables NCR to integrate its ImageMark(TM) proof-of-deposit (POD) and ImageMark Advantage with a comprehensive family of image capture solutions.

"Distributing the capture function closer to the point of acceptance and removing paper from the process is a top of mind issue for many banks," said Jose Pincetic, vice president, NCR Payment Solutions. "Digital Check's range of scanners provide the image quality and transport reliability required for a viable lower volume market solution."

Tom Anderson, president of Digital Check, said, "We are delighted to be partnering with NCR to meet the growing need for distributed capture. NCR has always been an innovative leader in developing payment solutions and best-in- class technology. We firmly intend to uphold that tradition."

The complete range of Digital Check's countertop TellerScan(TM) scanners with NCR software and global support services will be available from NCR and its reseller partners.
