The ProAKT Software is used world wide as a customer-trusted multi-vendor software solution for all sorts of banking front-office peripherals - ATS (Automated Teller Safes), both note recyclers and note dispeners, coin recyclers and dispensers, banking printers, magnetic card readers, chip-card readers, biometric devices such as pin pad and fingerprint readers, cheque readers, day safes and anything else you might want to automate on your tellers desk.

Usage Scenarios

• Standalone Scenarios allow rapid prototyping of ATS business models in new branches. We see these typical as an intermediate step before moving on to an integrated scenario.
• Integrated Scenarios provide the best benefit for customers: tellers can operate transactions and interact seamlessly with ATS peripherals. Improve the security of your branch operation, increase the efficiency of your tellers and reduce internal fraud at the same time.
• Some of our biggest customers are using ProAKT as a Device Driver Layer, thus benefiting from many man-years of experience with large-scale multi-vendor peripheral networks, accessible from a unified software API that is business-oriented. That is: our API does not expect your programmers to know the details of all peripherals: it helps them to focus on your core competencies as a financial institution.

Architecture

The ProAKT architecture has stood the test of time - it drives anything from classic windows desktops to embedded linux thin clients, from web applications running JEE architectures to distributed agile .NET components. At its core, it has three layers:

1. Presentation Layer
   Used to manage user interaction with the hardware. Can be heavily customized and integrated into your existing application - be it .NET, Java, or native.
2. Business Layer
   Orchestrates device access and translates physical hardware interaction into a business-oriented API that understands transactions and operational security.
3. Device Layer
   Manages a multitude of different devices with our award winning automated hardward detection that allows for a zero-configuration deployment.

Supported Operating Systems
