This turnkey service was provided in the record time of one month so as to be in line with the EMV schedule.
With the management of over 1,000 ATM/ABMs, Atos Worldline manages the vast majority of outsourced automated teller machines in France. This solid expertise saw it granted the management of the 16 Barclays bank ATMs located in France and Monaco five years ago.
At the end of 2004, in order to meet the requirements of the new EMV and NAC standards (New Cryptographic Rules, which tighten the security of exchanges between ATMs and the ATM/ABM management system), Barclays France, a historic client of Atos Worldline and its ATM global solutions, put its trust once more in its technological partner.
Atos Worldline thus took on responsibility for renewing the ATM network, thereby allowing the bank to reduce its migration costs.
Atos Worldline steered the entire project throughout each of its key stages: proposition of suitable equipment and order entry; site visits, installation and actual start-up of automated teller machines; technical maintenance and monitoring of the activity via a Monitoring and Assistance Unit. Atos Worldline also trained the branch personnel how to use the new machines.
Barclays France has stated that it is extremely satisfied with the service provided by Atos Worldline, which was able to meet its requirements, namely the provision of this turnkey service, in the record time of one month so as to be in line with the EMV schedule.
It now has a new, uniform fleet of equipment that is compatible with the new standards. The Wincor automated teller machines installed are more ergonomic, upgradeable and long-lasting. Moreover, they will allow the costs of future regulatory and technical changes to be reduced.
