• Buying Criteria
  • Performance
    • With highly sensitive ATM applications (i.e., data transfers between banks), Internet access becomes increasingly mission-critical, customers cannot afford network outages.
  • Reliability
    • Customers will pay more for an ATM as they require a secure and resilient service to support business-critical transactions. Network downtime (of any significant length) could cost a company millions in lost revenue.
  • Responsiveness
    • Fast and effective problem troubleshooting and automation of service delivery and maintenance are becoming highly prized as customers demand greater efficiency and near zero down time.
