Diebold white paper features best practices in
consumer marketing for deposit automation
Financial institutions across the country and around the world continue to plan for broad roll-outs of deposit automation technology.  But the success of deposit automation is about more than the technology.  To ensure adoption, financial institutions must consider the education of the consumer.  Mike Shirk, Diebold’s manager of ATM product marketing and a leader of Diebold’s deposit automation team, has developed a white paper that outlines best practices and key strategies for preparing consumers for the launch of deposit automation.  Diebold calls these best practices and key strategies “adoption marketing for deposit automation,” and the concept can help financial institutions of all sizes achieve greater success in the migration of deposit transactions to the self-service channel.  To access the full white paper, click here.

Diebold stock receives prominent listing
The Wall Street Journal listed Diebold as one of five technology stocks “with the highest dividend yields in the U.S. stock market sectors that performed best.” On March 6, the Journal listed Diebold in the same group with United Online (a consumer Internet service), Pitney Bowes, Microchip Tech and Intel.

Diebold was first listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1964 under the symbol “DBD.” Historically, Diebold has a solid financial performance with 53 consecutive years of dividend increases, a record few companies in the United States have.

In-house prototypes save Diebold time and money
Diebold’s global hardware development team saves the company time and money by using three-dimensional design files to create rapid prototype parts for ATM terminals, modules and more. Team members utilize two different prototype machines: the Z-Corp three-dimensional printer, which creates a prototype based on many intricate layers, and the Statasys Titan, which produces models using Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, or polycarbonate material.

In the past, Diebold sent design files to outside suppliers, which was costly. It also took at least three to four weeks out of the production cycle between receiving the prototype and recreating it if it didn’t work. In 2005 alone, the in-house production of prototypes saved Diebold nearly $200,000. To read the entire story, click here.
