SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/15/2004 -- eFunds Corporation (NYSE:
EFD), a leading provider of risk management, electronic payments and global
outsourcing solutions, today announced a remote graphics distribution solution
for Diebold® TCP/IP-based ATM machines running Windows® and OS/2®
operating systems. The solution will be available during the first quarter
of 2005. Available to customers via eFunds Online, remote graphics distribution
will provide EFT customers the ability to control and self-author ATM content
and advertising for their complete ATM portfolio from a Web browser.
The remote graphics solution utilizes TEKchand's ATMRewards™ technology
to automatically distribute graphics to ATMs. New or existing eFunds customers
can easily implement the solution after logging on to eFunds Online and
clicking "ATMContent Builder" to access the Remote Graphic Distribution
and Screen Content interface. Customers may use the web module to upload
graphics and schedule content delivery to target ATMs. In addition, screen
and receipt content changes can be performed on ATMs running TCP/IP, SNA,
Bisynch and even Native dial.
"200 million Americans use ATMs an average of six times a month
-- more than 12 billion transactions each year. The ability to self-author
and change multi-media messages on ATM screens is no longer an issue of
convenience, but has become a necessity as ATM owners tap into the value
of their most frequent customer touch point," said Rahul Gupta, senior
vice president and division executive, eFunds Corporation. "This
solution allows eFunds' customers complete self-management and control
over the messages appearing to their customers, and reduces the costs
associated with on-site graphics loading."
"The industry is looking for a multi-vendor solution for remote
graphic file distribution because of the costs, delays, and inconvenience
associated with uploading graphics locally at the ATM," said Rajeev
Bahri, managing director of TEKchand. "The ability to remotely load
graphics to OS2- and Windows-based ATMs from a unified web interface reduces
cost to ATM owners and provides a channel for campaign marketing."
The solution will be demonstrated November 16-19, at BAI's Retail Delivery
Conference & Expo at eFunds' booth number 8035.
