NORTH CANTON, Ohio,
April 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Diebold Nixdorf (NYSE: DBD), a global leader in driving
connected commerce, today announced it is the first automated
teller machine (ATM) manufacturer ready to support the
Microsoft® Windows 10 operating system. The move to the
latest operating system and application platform is an opportunity
for financial institutions to benefit from greater security against
modern cyber threats, meet regulatory compliance standards, and
enhance the consumer experience with future-looking services and
transactions.
"We are not only the first ATM manufacturer readily available to
support Windows 10, but have been shipping processors that are
Windows 10 compatible since mid-2014," said Ulrich Näher,
Diebold Nixdorf senior vice
president, systems. "This is a true testament to our company's
'future-proof' development mentality and protecting our customers'
investments – that meet the needs of today and anticipate those of
tomorrow."
In addition to following the Intel® and Microsoft
support guidelines, Diebold
Nixdorf's migration to a 64-bit operating system provides
customers with the best experience, allowing them to take full
advantage of the memory and processor features, such as advanced
security. Diebold Nixdorf is the
only known manufacturer to invest in this approach, but has done so
to proactively prepare financial institutions for a future where
32-bit versions of Windows 10 will not be available. All current
applications can continue to run in 32-bit, as needed.
"We have been working diligently with other industry groups to
ensure our customers are better prepared and to make this migration
as easy as possible," said Alan Kerr, Diebold Nixdorf senior vice president, software.
"Ultimately, this is about more than just migrating to the latest
operating system—it's about improving and modernizing consumer
experiences to advance connected commerce in the financial services
industry. The scale and flexibility of our software solutions
enable us to serve as a true partner to financial institutions of
all sizes as we navigate these changes and drive the future of
consumer transactions."
The release of Diebold Nixdorf's
Windows 10 supported foundational software packages will provide
financial institutions and partners with the most time to test and
certify their respective applications prior to the end of support
for Windows 7. Migration to Windows 10 will be necessary to
complete by Jan. 14, 2020.
