Diebold launches redesigned Opteva® Web site to
celebrate ATM’s five-year anniversary
To celebrate the five-year anniversary of its Opteva® ATM, Diebold
recently re-launched its
Opteva Web site.
Here, individuals can discover what makes Opteva a leading machine
in the industry by learning about ATM services such as outsourcing,
Agilis® software, deposit and teller automation options and various
models offered through videos, brochures, white papers, photos and
more.
“This site emphasizes Diebold’s commitment to
providing world-class, self-service solutions for our customers,”
said Diebold’s Jeanne Snyder, senior product marketing
manager. “It demonstrates how financial institutions can achieve a
greater return on their investment by showcasing how Opteva can meet
their business needs and optimize their self-service channel. Opteva
offers the best value for customers with proven reliability,
unsurpassed security, powerful features and world-class service.”
Additionally, site visitors can also customize the
look of ATMs, cash dispensers and more with the ATM color tool. This
offering allows individuals to change the primary user interface,
secondary user interface, housing/trim ring and background colors on
the Opteva 562 and Opteva 720 models. They are also able to take a
closer look at an Opteva terminal through a 360-degree tool that
highlights callout descriptions on the ATM as well as a close-up
snapshot of various features.
Diebold executive appointed to Security Industry
Association’s
board of directors
John
Stroia,
Diebold’s vice president, government security and monitoring
solutions, was recently elected to the Security Industry
Association’s (SIA) board of directors. SIA is a nonprofit,
international trade association with more than 300 member companies
representing electronic and physical security product manufacturing
specifiers and service providers.
Stroia’s extensive leadership in the security industry aligns with
the association’s initiatives, which include support to industry
leaders in biometrics, access control and systems integration.
During his 16-year tenure with Diebold, he has made several
significant contributions to the company, ranging from product
planning to business development.
“Considering Diebold’s pioneering role in the security industry and
John’s commitment to the advancement of the industry, his selection
to the SIA board was the logical choice,” said Dennis Moriarty,
Diebold’s senior vice president, global security, noting that the
appointment followed an extensive selection committee and search
vote. “We expect John’s impact and the visionary outlook on the
security industry will be put to effective use in his new post with
fellow industry leaders.”
Advanced
technology expert participates in
innovation roundtable
Jim Block,
Diebold’s director, global advanced technology, recently
participated in an executive business roundtable on innovation that
was held at The University of Akron in Akron, Ohio. The event was
led by Vivek Wadhwa, fellow at the Labor and Worklife Program,
Harvard Law School, and Pete Engardio, senior news editor,
international, BusinessWeek.
During the
discussion, experts from 21 local companies including First Energy,
Timken and The Cleveland Clinic discussed and provided examples of
significant innovations. Block discussed Diebold’s ever-improving
approach to innovation which includes:
-
Allowing
multi-functional design teams assigned to a project to work in a
common design area. This creates an environment where ideas can
flow across disciplines freely.
-
Tapping the
global workforce’s diverse ideas and perspectives to contribute
a wider variety of innovative ideas.
-
Exposing our
markets to future-oriented ideas, such as Diebold’s Branch of
the Future platform, which encourages discussion and gains
feedback.
“For most people,
the term ‘innovation’ is closely associated with technology,”
explained Block. “However, all of the participating panelists agreed
that innovation in technology alone is insufficient to sustain
growth. It is imperative for companies to foster innovation in all
aspects of their business. A company must cultivate innovation not
only in the way it designs its products and services, but how it
approaches its markets, defines its processes and structures its
organizations.”
