Corporation Press Release - July
29, 1998
Carreker-Antinori Reports Dramatic
Benefits from Effective Automation
of Cash Forecasting in Fleet Bank
Branches
(DALLAS,
TX June 29, 1998) — Carreker-Antinori
(NASDAQ:CANI) reports significant
benefits at Fleet Financial Group,
a $97.7 billion institution headquartered
in Boston, MA, and listed on the
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:
FLT). Carreker reported that average
cash for Fleet Bank branches was
dramatically reduced by more than
$116 million dollars in May 1998
as compared to May 1997. This major
reduction was due to the bank's
execution of tactical reductions
and the installation and implementation
of Carreker-Antinori's CashForecasterTM
product.
In
order to accomplish the tactical
reductions in advance of the CashForecaster
system installation, the retail
bank operations and Fleet's technology
services project team applied seven
months of analysis, development,
and file scrubbing to create relevant
cash usage reports using seven
weeks of live 1998 cash pattern
data obtained from all 1,200 branches.
"We
are extremely pleased with the
CashForecaster product and the
results being realized to date
in this project.", said LaMar R.
Kelly, Vice President, Retail Services & Support
Division of Fleet.
Using
a least common denominator to reduce
cash levels can produce some modest
savings. However, with CashForecaster's
daily dynamic forecasting, the
bank can double or even triple
the benefits of reducing branch
excess cash. Plus, CashForecaster
facilitates the optimum reduction
in cash without increasing the
risk of running out of cash. The
possibility of running out of cash
is an ever-present reminder that,
without accurate forecasting tools,
true cash minimization will never
be realized.
Carreker-Antinori,
Inc. teamed with Knowledge Based
Systems, Inc. (KBSI), College Station,
Texas, to develop CashForecaster.
CashForecaster utilizes a client-server
platform that conforms to state-of-the-art
norms and standards.
