Argo and Carreker Extend Alliance
to Deliver Branch Capture of Check
Images
Dallas, November 19, 2003 — ARGO Data
Resource Corporation (ARGO), a leading provider of
branch automation software, and Carreker Corporation
(Nasdaq: CANI), a leading provider of consulting
and technology solutions for the financial services
industry, today announced they are extending their
alliance to deliver an end-to-end solution for branch
capture of check images.
Now that Check 21 has been signed into law, permitting
banks to truncate checks and present substitute checks
that bear images of the original, banks are increasingly
seeking to capture check images earlier in the clearing
process, including the point at which checks are
presented to bank branch tellers.
Carreker is developing a suite of solutions known
as Source Capture, which will take check images and
data captured in the branch, inspect for quality,
and send to the bank’s back office to support
posting, bank-to-bank image exchange, and check archiving
for customer support purposes.
To accommodate the 50 percent of the top U.S. banks
that already use ARGO’s BANKPRO Teller solution,
Carreker and ARGO will integrate the Source Capture
solution suite with ARGO’s Teller Image Capture
Solution. This will provide image capture functionality
that maximizes the opportunity offered by Check 21,
including:
- Providing the bank’s customers with high-quality
service for their image-related needs
- Reducing the cost of processing deposits and
payments
- Truncate the flow of costly paper check processing
- Reducing payments risk by detecting potential
fraud earlier in the clearing cycle
- Detecting image quality suspects and repair as
required
J. D. (Denny) Carreker, chairman and CEO of Carreker
Corporation, said, “As we assist our clients
in making the most of their Check 21 opportunity,
we recognize that we need to integrate with their
existing solutions like ARGO’s to ease their
transition to image capture. Our alliance with ARGO
on similar branch solutions gives us confidence in
a high-quality, seamless integration process that
delivers the greatest possible benefits for the client.”
“Providing our clients with options for strategic
migration to branch image capture is a top priority,” said
Max Martin, CEO of ARGO Data Resource Corporation. “ARGO’s
continued alliance with Carreker and extensive integration
experience ensures innovative solutions that quickly
deliver substantial return on investment for our
clients.”
The long-standing ARGO-Carreker alliance has previously
seen several installations at leading U.S. banks
of Carreker’s Branch Truncation Manager with
ARGO’s BANKPRO Teller.
Carreker plans to deliver the branch component of
Source Capture in 2004.
At BAI’s Retail Delivery (BOOTH 1117 and
BOOTH 1816)
The ARGO and Carreker image-enabled check capture
solution will be demonstrated at BAI’s Retail
Delivery Show (RDS) in New Orleans, November 17-20,
2003. Visit Carreker’s Booth 1816, or ARGO’s
Booth, number 1117 for more information.
