PC/E Monitoring ProView Efficient IT service management for self-service networks
PC/E Monitoring ProView The highest possible availability of self-service systems and branch services is decisive for retail banks. Our solutions help you monitor and manage your self-service network consistently and efficiently. Self-service system downtimes jeopardize business processes, lower service quality and generate high costs. YOUR CHALLENGES Focus on performance and efficiency of the self-service network In order to meet customers' demands, selfservice systems offering modern, non-stop services have been installed in bank branches, shopping centers and service stations. As a result, year after year, the number of transactions carried out on selfservice systems has been continually increasing. Only with a high-performance self-service network will you be able to achieve the process efficiency you need to retain a clear edge in this ever more competitive market. Even something as simple as a cash jam in a self-service system can lead to dissatisfied customers: if your ATM is out of order, your customers might have to go to another branch or even to another bank. The availability and efficiency of the selfservice network naturally also has an influence on operating and maintenance costs. The fewer technicians you need on site, the lower the costs. An other substantial cost factor is time re quired by staff, for example to install new software on the self-service systems. Above and beyond high availability, to day's customers are also focusing increasingly on the security of their transaction data. Permanent, fastacting protection is vital for the positive image of your financial institution, especially in response to skimming attempts. Meeting these challenges calls for an endto-end management solution that covers analysis, monitoring, fault clearance and incident management.
