Schools use
DieboldDirect’s pink VAT carriers as time capsules
to preserve history
Students at Windemere Elementary School in Ellet, Ohio, recently
used Diebold’s pink vacuum air tube (VAT) carriers, designed to
promote breast cancer awareness, for a
time capsule project
to mark the closing of the school before it is torn down to make way
for a new one.
With so many choices, its second-grade students had no trouble
deciding what to include. They prepared a timeline with personal
information including likes and dislikes, a jump drive with pictures
of Akron and Cleveland, a list of current gas prices and price
predictions for the future, and information and facts concerning
breast cancer. In 2018, Windemere students will return to dig up the
time capsules, noting how society has change politically,
economically and socially, and hopefully, how medicine evolved to
find a cure for breast cancer.
“We were very happy to assist in preserving history for students,”
said Pamela Barron, director, DieboldDirect. “Diebold's caring
campaign is all about reaching out to people, and this is a great
example of how we can help."
This project is only the start of a multi-faceted effort to utilize
VAT carriers for time capsule projects at grade schools throughout
the United States. Barron expects more and more schools to
participate in similar projects in the future.
Diebold
unlocks mystery of 108-year-old safe
More
than 30 years after its combination was lost, two Diebold associates
unlocked the mystery of a
108-year-old cannonball safe
located in the Allegheny Courthouse controller's office in
Pittsburgh, Pa. During the last few years, the controller’s office
entertained several bids to open the safe, but never accepted any –
until Diebold offered to open the safe for free.
“We thought it would be a great idea to get involved and help the
county,” said Diebold’s George Lambert, manager, GSL, repair/banklock.
“This is one of Diebold’s areas of expertise, and we were glad to be
able to serve the community in this way.”
The safe, manufactured by Hibbard-Rodman-Ely Inc., measured
approximately 5 ½ feet tall, 4 feet wide and 2 ½ feet deep, and
weighed about 10 tons. It contained various items including old
general ledgers, bond records and miscellaneous items such as
pencils, envelopes and stationery.
Diebold’s
remote marketing software enhances bank’s branding efforts through
its ATM network
When
Axis Bank rebranded itself from UTI Bank, it required a
comprehensive re-branding campaign across its self-service network.
There was a need to closely coordinate all its marketing activities,
such as replacing all UTI Bank references on ATM screens with the
Axis Bank name and logo, on a very tight schedule. To ensure that
deadlines were met and new ATM screens were created and deployed,
Axis Bank partnered with Diebold to successfully execute the
campaign across its network using Diebold’s remote marketing
software.
Axis Bank needed a
robust tool for delivering timely and customer-specific marketing
messages through its ATM network. Diebold’s software enables Axis
Bank to build and maintain advertising campaigns, schedule campaign
distribution, and download and activate rotational campaigns. It
also allows the bank to cross-sell and up-sell products to its
customers via ATM screens, and helps in decreasing cost on
distribution of screens across the channel.
During the
rebranding process, Diebold played an integral role in creating
various language screens for the financial institution – from
translation to ideation. Overall, more than 400,000 screens were
downloaded on nearly 2,000 ATMs during this time.
Axis Bank continues to use this software to deploy
new screens across its entire ATM network, providing customers with
timely information to enhance their banking experience.
Security
technology expert to present at National Food Safety and Security
Council Conference and Exposition
B. Scott
Harroff,
Diebold’s chief information security architect, will share his
knowledge of proactive security methods at the National Food Safety
and Security Council Conference and Exposition on Tuesday, July 29,
at The Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, Texas. His presentation titled,
“Regulatory Compliance versus Hacker Proof: Is my customer’s data
really bullet resistive?” will focus on how customized, proactive
security systems protect business assets – both physical and
logical.
Harroff will also discuss the necessary steps in creating a
proactive security model including assessing risk, protecting a
retail business from the inside out and devising a plan for
proactive monitoring. “The retail industry has worked diligently to
find the most effective ways to protect against the multiple factors
affecting shrink,” Harroff said. “Today, however, protecting
customers’ data, business records and even pricing details is
essential, and can go a long way in preventing damage to a
retailer’s brand, reputation and bottom line. It’s critical to
understand that a logical security breach can be much more
detrimental to a business’s bottom line than everyday shrink.
