Absolute ATM to Offer Fujitsu Series 8000 in Central and South Texas
Frisco, TX, June 07, 2004 — Absolute ATM has joined the ranks of Fujitsu Transaction Solutions' business partners to market Fujitsu's automated teller machines (ATMs) to financial institutions in Central and South Texas.
Under the agreement, Absolute ATM will exclusively sell, install, service and upgrade Fujitsu's Series 8000 and Series 7000 ATMs in Austin, San Antonio and Corpus Christi. The Houston-based reseller is a leading provider of ATM services and management solutions, maintaining more than 600 ATMs throughout the state. Web site: www.absoluteatm.com
"As we continue our migration from a maintenance and management focus to full-service ATM provider, we wanted to add full-function ATMs to the range of products we sell by teaming with an experienced technology partner," said Troy LeBlanc, president of Absolute ATM. "Fujitsu was a perfect choice because they offer superior ATM models that combine the features and capabilities that our clients can use to create a more convenient banking experience for their customers.
"Fujitsu's recent partnership with Triton makes this agreement even more beneficial to us and our clients since we also resell Triton ATMs," he said. "We will soon be able to offer a single software platform that will easily integrate with both Fujitsu and Triton ATMs, reducing costs for us and the financial institutions we serve."
Fujitsu and Triton entered into a strategic licensing agreement in April through which Triton will further enhance and then deploy Fujitsu Windows-based ATM software application, Prism(tm), on Triton's current and next generation ATM hardware.
"Absolute ATM's strong experience and track record in the ATM industry makes them an ideal partner for us," said Bill Witte, Fujitsu's senior vice president, self-service, product and marketing operations. "Financial institutions across Central and South Texas will benefit from the full range of products and services Absolute ATM offers, including Fujitsu Web-enabled Series 8000 and Triple-DES security."
Fujitsu's Series 8000 ATMs
Fujitsu's Series 8000 Web-enabled ATMs and cash dispensers support the Microsoft Windows operating system, integrating seamlessly
into existing 912-compatible networks. They comply fully with the Americans with Disabilities Act and are the industry's first
to use text-to-speech technology for the visually impaired. The machines also incorporate Triple Data Encryption (DES) security.
Available in off-premise, in-lobby, through-the-wall and drive-up models, Series 8000 ATMs can expand to up to five cassettes to dispense a wide range of media - stamps, coupons, phone cards, multiple-denomination notes, foreign currency and tickets.
