ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Alaska USA FCU has deployed NCR’s APTRA software at its 150 ATMs – including 70 non-NCR machines – in 45 days.
Alaska USA’s ATMs are driven by the Alaska Option Network. Alaska Option teamed with NCR and Alaska USA to ensure the ATM functionality worked as designed and that online messages to card issuer host systems were not affected.
NCR APTRA is a suite of ATM software that performs a variety of functions, including delivering secure transactions, managing the ATM network and building member/customer relationships. NCR APTRA uses a Windows-based XFS interface, facilitating an open software environment and making it vendor independent.
NCR installed the following APTRA software products:
APTRA Edge – Multivendor software for running and deploying applications across a self-service network
APTRA Exchange – Multivendor solutions designed specifically to aid the management of software functions on the self-service channel, such as remote software patches or electronic journal and log file retrieval
APTRA Promote – For delivering timely and relevant marketing messages to ATM users
APTRA eMarketing – For communicating to members and prospects across self-service channels in a synchronized fashion using targeted e-mail messaging, personalized online banking banner advertisements, one-to-one messaging at an ATM and follow-up contact at a call center
Solidcore Suite for APTRA – Multi-vendor ATM software security solution with real-time centralized management that proactively allows only authorized code to run, rather than reacting to known attacks as they arise
NCR said the suite of solutions has given Alaska USA a level of flexibility to manage its self-service environment and quickly deploy fresh and dynamic content.
