   Northern Trust Selects Getronics Globalfs For Next Generation Teller System
   11/16/2004 09:16
   Getronics today announced that The Northern Trust Company has selected Getronics' Globalfs as the new teller system for its branch network that spans 15 states. Globalfs, the software component of the Getronics 3D(TM) for Retail Banking solution, will optimize the productivity of Northern Trust's employees by delivering excellent customer service capabilities and speedy, full-service transaction processing.
   
   The Getronics Globalfs teller solution, tailored to the bank's business and technical requirements, is an important addition to Northern Trust's ongoing efforts focused on the quality and effectiveness of their client servicing capabilities. The solution's centralized delivery model, fault-tolerant transaction processing, and automation of previously manual processes will increase operating efficiencies and enable Northern Trust's banking professionals to focus on their customers' experiences and not on operations and systems. The Globalfs teller application is the first integrated retail banking software platform to leverage Microsoft's "Smart Client" technology to maximize application availability and enterprise-wide "no touch" software management and signature verification.
   
   An additional feature of the Getronics Globalfs solution will be the implementation of check truncation and image capture at the point of presentment to reduce float, reduce paper check cost, and enable the bank to serve customers faster and more securely. This capability will help establish Northern Trust as a leader in Check 21 adoption.
   
   "The Globalfs software will be an important component of our teller servicing platform. This application was able to meet our stringent requirements. Additionally, Getronics' professional services capabilities will provide valuable guidance as we engage in detailed design, and implementation," stated Northern Trust's Peter Ruegsegger, senior vice president of Product Development, Personal Financial Services. "In our selection process we viewed Getronics as a firm with a strong, proven capability to assist us in achieving the value proposition associated with our teller-related initiatives," continued Ruegsegger.
   
   "Implementing a new teller system provides an excellent opportunity to analyze and optimize processes to increase service and productivity," stated Kevin Roche, Getronics' executive vice president and general manager North America. "This is the approach that Northern Trust is taking in working with Getronics. They enjoy a well-deserved reputation for combining the latest technologies with a highly personalized customer service approach. Globalfs will enable Northern Trust to integrate delivery and optimize productivity across their mission-critical branch network. Our commitment is to help them deploy and grow an agile environment that will enable them to profit from the changes faced by a bank of their stature."
   
   Northern Trust plans to roll out the Globalfs teller application in the second half of 2005. Getronics will also provide systems integration, project management, and ongoing support to the bank.
