White paper highlights outsourcing trends and benefits
Banks, credit unions and other ATM owners are outsourcing their entire self-service channels at a rate of nearly $2.5 billion annually, according to a recent Diebold white paper (PDF) titled “Self-Service Outsourcing: A Closer Look.” Some of the leading forces behind this trend include financial institutions' need to focus more on core business activities, cut operational costs and stay current with technology.

In addition to outlining when to outsource, the white paper also describes the components of a typical self-service outsourcing engagement including hardware and software, implementation, maintenance services and managed services, the benefits of self-service outsourcing, total cost of ownership and strategies for success.  For more information, contact DeAnn Zackeroff at 330.490.5220.

Diebold recognized by American Society for Training and Development as a “Champion Of Learning”
Diebold was recently recognized by the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) as a “Champion of Learning.”  This recognition is a result of Diebold’s Employee Learning Week, which was held in December 2007.

Employee Learning Week is a program created for employees highlighting the critical connection between learning and achieving organizational results. The week provides employees an opportunity to focus on their own learning and skills development.

Marsha Friedman, strategic project manager, North Canton, Ohio, said the award means Diebold will receive national recognition for its work in the area of promoting employee learning and development, and that employees will benefit from strong corporate support for their career development needs.

To be eligible for the award, Diebold was required to prepare an Employee Learning Week summary including details about the various events. The award criterion was based on educational events and associate participation.  In addition to these elements, proclamations were issued by the State of Ohio from Gov. Ted Strickland, the City of Canton by former Mayor Janet Weir Creighton and the City of Akron by Mayor Don Plusquellic.  For more information, contact Rebekah Smith at 330.490.3773
