NCR says it has introduced the biggest change to the way an ATM operates since the self-service banking channel was invented nearly 50 years ago, launching Kalpana software, an enterprise software platform that moves ATM software and operations to the cloud.
Kalpana software runs ATMs remotely, initially through a thin-client ATM including an
Android operating system, and is designed to eliminate malware, enable rapid deployment of new devices and ATM services, reduce costs by up to 40%, and create amazing customer experiences.
Kalpana software also seamlessly blends into existing banking and IT infrastructure, connecting to existing ATM networks and other consumer-facing channels to allow transactions and services to be shared and re-used elsewhere. This dynamic allows financial institutions and independent ATM deployers to run a combination of conventional ATMs and ATMs driven by Kalpana software.
“NCR’s Kalpana software is the most disruptive change to the ATM ecosystem in decades. Business and consumer applications are increasingly turning to enterprise or cloud-based solutions that reshape security and enable fast, nimble and dynamic customer experiences,” says Andy Heyman, president, NCR Financial Services.
“Kalpana software is ideal for financial institutions and independent ATM deployers looking to improve security, quickly advance service delivery through technology, and reshape their cost to serve.”
