Diebold’s Branch of the Future gains attention at
BAI’s Retail Delivery Show
Diebold recently displayed its “Branch of the Future” concept model at BAI’s Retail Delivery 2006 trade show in Las Vegas, Nev. The concept featured "welcome stations," where customers use biometrics and other technologies to identify themselves, and indicate the transactions or activities they intend to undertake during the visit. Based on their input, the conceptual system analyzes their needs, along with the current branch activity and workloads, and instructs customers to proceed to several "fulfillment stations" in an order that will be most efficient at that exact time

“Overall, the concept branch demonstration was very well received by customers,” said Diebold’s Jim Block, director, global advanced technology. “Attendees seemed pleasantly enlightened about the possibilities associated with channel interaction and the benefits it provides to customers, including better customer service and branch operation efficiencies.”

Global Security leader talks about convergence,
the changing landscape at Securing New Ground Conference
Dennis Moriarty, senior vice president of Diebold Global Security, was a featured speaker during a roundtable at this year’s Securing New Ground Conference at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City on Nov. 15-16. Moriarty shared his views about the roadmap to security convergence as part of the “Welcome to the Frontlines” panel on Wednesday, Nov. 15. The session focused on how global security integrators balance changing market demands with technology and corporate pressures.

“I think [financial institutions] need to understand change, but more importantly, what it means to our customers,” Moriarty said. “To me it means smart branch, smart store, smart building.” Moriarty also expressed the need for financial institutions to understand the changing landscape. “This new landscape requires not only security competence, but information technology competence,” he said. “When we look at the convergence roadmap, I think one of the biggest drivers today is policy. We all need to be very aware of policy and how it affects our customers’ behavior, but more importantly, the impact it can have on their businesses.”

More than 250 security industry leaders attended the conference, which was produced by the Lehman Brothers and Sandra Jones and Company, two of the industry’s leading research firms. Securing New Ground targets leaders in the security and financial sector and delivers information about the competitive landscape, market trends and more.
