<strong>NCR</strong> brings <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Branch</strong> Services to <strong>Europe</strong><br />

NEWS RELEASE<br />

Financial institutions can simplify their operations and reduce cost through a<br />

single service provider <strong>for</strong> all branch technology support<br />

Duluth, Ga. – <strong>NCR</strong> Corporation (NYSE: <strong>NCR</strong>) today introduced a new services offer <strong>for</strong><br />

<strong>Europe</strong>an financial institutions that consolidates support <strong>for</strong> all branch technology under one<br />

provider. Through <strong>NCR</strong> <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Branch</strong> services, financial institutions can turn to <strong>NCR</strong> as a<br />

single contact <strong>for</strong> the maintenance and repair of all multi-vendor technology found within a<br />

branch, including ATMs, personal computers, kiosks, voice and data networks, wireless and<br />

fixed networks, and printers. By relying on <strong>NCR</strong> <strong>for</strong> all technology services instead of<br />

multiple providers, financial institutions can reduce costs and simplify operations.<br />

On-site <strong>NCR</strong> technicians and local-language help desk agents can support thousands of<br />

devices from hundreds of technology manufacturers, as well as branch networks in a single<br />

country or across the region. <strong>NCR</strong>’s <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Branch</strong> Services offers the broadest set of solution<br />

coverage in the industry, and financial institutions consolidating their service providers<br />

typically see savings of 10-15 percent.<br />

The trend <strong>for</strong> <strong>Europe</strong>an businesses to consider alternative support partners is highlighted<br />

in a December 2011 Gartner report, "Competitive Landscape: Integrated Infrastructure<br />

Support Providers, Western <strong>Europe</strong>" by Rob Addy. The report states, "Gartner user surveys<br />

show that the use of alternative providers <strong>for</strong> hardware support and maintenance continues<br />

to gain widespread acceptance and is now being actively considered by many organizations<br />

that previously preferred to have support provided by the OEMs." The report also states,<br />

“End-user organizations are actively pushing <strong>for</strong> consolidated support contracts to realize<br />

cost savings, reduce contract management overhead and simplify operational processes by<br />

having a single source of maintenance.”<br />

“Financial institutions are under significant pressure to deliver exceptional customer<br />

experience while maintaining operational efficiency,” said Chris Askew, senior vice<br />

president, <strong>NCR</strong> Services. “<strong>NCR</strong> <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Branch</strong> services provide banks with a proven single,<br />

strategic partner to manage their branch infrastructure while keeping their business up and<br />

running so that branch staff can focus on customers.”<br />

<strong>NCR</strong> provides managed services <strong>for</strong> more than 65,000 ATMs worldwide, and is one of the<br />

top 10 global outsourcing services providers, according to the International Association of<br />

Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP).<br />

<strong>NCR</strong> provides value added services to 19 of the world’s top 20 banks, 17 of the top 20<br />

retailers, seven of the top 10 telecom firms and four of the top five airlines.<br />
