China Construction Bank (CCB)
Selects Kalignite Multi-Vendor ATM Software
26 July 2004 - Press Release
Edinburgh, UK - KAL is pleased to announce
that China Construction Bank (CCB) has selected Kalignite
as the multi-vendor software platform for its Automated Teller
Machine (ATM) network. KAL's development partner in China,
Shenzen Zijin, will supply the Kalignite-based application
to CCB. The application is currently in pilot at three branches.
CCB is the largest bank in China (source: "The Banker",
July 2004), with an extensive network of more than 20,000
branches and over 300,000 employees.
The Kalignite Platform enables CCB to deploy a single ATM
application across its entire estate, significantly reducing
the cost of application development and maintenance as well
as greatly improving the speed of deployment of software enhancements
across the network.
"There is a significant movement in China towards the adoption
of true multi-vendor ATM software" said Aravinda Korala, CEO
of KAL. "With their new Kalignite-based software solution,
CCB can choose the exact ATM model and type that suits each
deployment, independent of hardware vendor. KAL's Kalignite
platform is unique in that it provides CCB complete freedom
to select ATMs from 25 different manufacturers."
The Kalignite Platform supports the full range of ATM hardware
from large full-function machines to compact and low-cost
Windows CE-based ATMs with a minimal footprint. In addition
to standard cash dispensing functionality, Kalignite also
supports cash recycling, bundled cash and check acceptance,
passbook-printing, and more, giving CCB a complete spectrum
of choices..
