DIEBOLD INTEGRATES CARREKER’S
IMAGE QUALITY SOFTWARE INTO OPTEVA
ATMs
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – BAI Retail Delivery (November
16, 2004) — Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD),
and Carreker Corporation (Nasdaq: CANI), a leading
provider of consulting and technology solutions for
the financial services industry, today announced
that Diebold will integrate Carreker’s Quality
Assurance Suite, Image Inspector™, into Diebold’s
Opteva family of automated teller machines (ATMs).
With the enactment of Check 21, banks are increasingly
capturing check images earlier in the check-clearing
process, including the point at which checks are
deposited at ATMs. The Opteva family of ATMs offers
envelope-free deposits, enabling checks to be deposited
into Diebold’s Intelligent Depository Module™ and
cash into a Bulk Note Acceptor.
Diebold will integrate Carreker’s Courtesy
Amount Recognition; Legal Amount Recognition (CAR/LAR)
and Image Inspection technology with Diebold’s
image technology. The integration will allow check
images captured at Opteva ATMs to be reviewed for
image quality and enhanced to ensure the best possible
image is transmitted to the financial institution.
Carreker’s CAR/LAR technology significantly
increases check-amount recognition accuracy.
Image Inspector™ enhances and verifies the
quality of payment images using Carreker’s
advanced image recognition technology and sophisticated
detection patterns. It analyzes check images and
flags low-quality items for repair at the item, device,
and file levels. The application increases the integrity
of the image archive and exchanges between the bank
and its archive provider and reduces related research
costs. It also reduces the user’s risk of fraud
by improving the accuracy of fraud detection systems.
It is designed to work in multiple payment workflow
environments and to ensure adherence to the user’s
privacy policies.
Carreker’s Image Inspector will enhance Diebold’s
robust check-imaging solution, ImageWay. An electronic
check-imaging solution for ATMs, ImageWay is an open,
end-to-end deposit automation solution, developed
for the self-service delivery channel. ImageWay enables
financial institutions to capture check images at
the ATM, transport them to a financial institution’s
server and format the data so it’s compatible
with the institution’s back-office image processes.
Image Inspector will help ensure the images captured
by Diebold’s Intelligent Depository Module
(IDM) are quality, usable images.
"More than ever before, Diebold’s banking
customers demand deposit automation,” said
David Bucci, Diebold’s senior vice president
for Customer Solutions. "We are constantly seeking
ways to enhance the solutions we offer to our customers.
Together, Diebold's Intelligent Depository Module™ and
Carreker's Image Inspector™ offer a powerful
solution that will make self-service check acceptance
ready for the Check 21 environment.”
Doug Halvorsen, director, Capture Technologies,
Carreker Corporation said, “To realize the
maximum value of the Check 21 legislation, banks
require enhanced processing for ATM image deposits.
Carreker and Diebold’s combined technologies
help financial institutions maximize their Check
21 remote capture opportunities by improving the
integrity of the ATM deposit process, minimizing
the risk of uncollectable items, and increasing operational
efficiencies through advanced image-based technologies.”
J.D. Denny Carreker, chairman and CEO of Carreker
Corporation said, “Diebold’s significant
market share in ATMs means that Image Inspector should
increasingly become the standard for managing image
quality. By capturing check images at the ATM source,
banks can reduce their deposit processing expenses,
achieve faster funds availability, enjoy later deposit
deadlines, and share these benefits with their clients.
With Image Inspector, they can do so with a high
level of security regarding quality and risk.”
At BAI’s Retail Delivery (Booth Number
4053)
Carreker’s Image Inspector solution will be
demonstrated at BAI’s Retail Delivery Show
(RDS) in Las Vegas, November 16-18, 2004. Visit the
Carreker booth, number 4053, for more information.
