Source Technologies’ 3-Series Modular Kiosk Enables Rapid Self-Service Deployment

Charlotte, N.C., Nov 15, 2005 -Source Technologies, a leading provider of integrated solutions for managing financial transactions and other secure business processes, is debuting the concourse™ 3-Series kiosk platform at the 2005 BAI Retail Delivery Conference. The 3-Series is the first kiosk featuring Source Technologies’ modular “head and shoulders” design, and represents a major breakthrough in banking kiosk technology, styling and price-performance.

Banks that are contending with disaster-related environments, displaced customers and competitive challenges understand the need to establish a transaction-based presence in single or multiple locations quickly and at a manageable cost.

Regardless of space limitations, the 3-Series allows banks to use the same kiosk for a variety of applications and environments. It is deployable as a wall-mount kiosk using just the head module, as a tabletop by adding the shoulders, or freestanding with the base module. And when deployed with concourse Teller software, the solution can be up in running in sixty to ninety days. 

“A modular platform gives banks greater flexibility, especially where floor space is at a premium or speed-to-market is a concern,” said Bill Lynch, VP Self Service, Source Technologies. “It also lowers ownership costs because all devices, components, software--even CPUs-- are standardized. Modularity also dramatically cuts deployment and service costs. Each module can ship via UPS and be assembled with limited technical skill. In addition, a module can be easily replaced or upgraded in the field without the usual complexity."
