Diebold introduces new custom applications platform

Using Agilis Power, Diebold's worldwide software and self-service experts can help financial institutions implement customized applications that run across a multi-vendor ATM network. This gives consumers a consistent user experience every time they access their financial institution, while reducing the operating costs associated with running a multi-vendor network.

Diebold's Professional Services experts help financial institutions easily migrate to the newest technologies with enhanced flexibility and speed. Employing innovative Microsoft Windows® and .NET™ Framework technology, Agilis Power, the base software architecture, allows Diebold to use common software components across multiple systems and devices for greater consistency of design and ease of implementation.

A top Diebold M.E. official said that this year's GITEX 2002, to be held at the Dubai World Trade Center from October 13-18, 2002, would provide the launch-pad to showcase the concept to the region's customers. 'Custom applications built using Agilis Power allow our customers to take advantage of Diebold's extensive professional services expertise and smoothly integrate new vendor-independent applications into their entire ATM networks,' explained Hassan Hares, Business Development Manager for Diebold Middle East.
