This represents Panini's sixth consecutive year at CIAB, the leading technology conference for Brazilian financial institutions. Extending its experience and success in providing branch image capture (BIC) solutions to Latin American financial institutions, Panini has expanded its offerings to include remote deposit capture (RDC) solutions for commercial businesses, point of sale (POS) capture solutions for merchants and retailers, and software solutions for the management and security of deployed capture devices.

"The dematerialization of payments and their associated documents represents the potential for tremendous gains in efficiency, accuracy, and security. With nearly a million capture installations around the world, Panini is in a unique position to help Latin American financial institutions and businesses capitalize on the advantages and opportunities available with distributed cheque & document capture," said Michael Pratt, Chief Marketing Officer at Panini. "With Panini's extensive experience, proven quality, world-class partners, and direct presence in Latin America, CIAB provides an outstanding venue to highlight Panini's capture solutions."

In addition to demonstrating solutions for branch capture, remote deposit capture, point-of-sale capture, and device management, Panini will showcase the two newest capture solutions from its continuous innovation portfolio, Panini Vision neXt™ and Panini mI:Deal™. The Vision neXt is Panini's new batch capture solution platform, setting new performance standards while delivering robust quality and breakthrough innovations such as an integrated document alignment system. The Panini mI:Deal combines innovation and ease-of-use with "plug & play" connectivity to existing POS systems for maximum functionality and ROI. On-board intelligence allows for fast and easy integration with a variety of physical and virtual POS environments and a wireless connectivity option delivers complete mobility. Panini will also highlight its state-of-the-art device management software platform, Panini Avantor™, capable of delivering robust device asset management, performance optimization, and device security.

As an integral element of Panini's total solutions strategy for capture and truncation, several strategic Panini partners will be participating in Panini's exhibit at CIAB.
