NCR Corporation, a global leader in omni-channel solutions, has announced the introduction of Power Advantage, an innovative portfolio of power solution to help financial institutions improve ATM availability, reduce operational expenses and efficiently manage a broader range of equipments.

The solution comprises power conditioners and an all-in-one UPS (uninterruptible power supply) and UPM (uninterrupted power manager) device, the company said.

This new solution will be showcased in Dubai at the forthcoming Cards & Payments Middle East 2016 event from May 31– June 01, 2016.

The addition of NCR Power Advantage will help financial institutions in the Middle East to not only solve common issues such as power failures and lightning strikes which is only 10 per cent of the actual power issues faced in an electrical environment; but also address the other 90 per cent of power issues which go undetected leading to communication errors, no connectivity, reboots and lock-ups, ghost jams, no fault found service calls etc.

“With financial institutions facing significant pressure on higher availability of their ATMs to ensure customer satisfaction and retention, the introduction of NCR Power Advantage technology becomes most relevant now,” said Wael Elaawar, NCR managing director of financial services for Gulf and Saudi Arabia.

“NCR continues to invest in technologies and solutions addressing key challenges faced by banks and this solution reiterates our commitment to introduce technology and services to operate more efficiently and improve their customer experience,” he said.

A standard UPS only protects the ATMs from surges and outages. While, NCR Power Advantage power conditioners solve common power issues and add a low impedance isolation transformer and noise filter in addition to a surge diverter to protect the ATMs from the disturbances within power systems, the company said. - TradeArabia News Service
