Banking segment continues to gain strong growth.
Business within the area of retail banking remains buoyant. This applies equally to hard-/software and services. Wincor Nixdorf has been benefiting from the ongoing trend toward process and workflow optimization at branch level as well as the continued expansion of branch and self-service activities. Increasingly, the focus within retail banking has been on capital expenditure directed at process automation. In addition, the market as a whole has seen a continual stream of extended solutions aimed at improving the range of services available to banking customers. Wincor Nixdorf has been supporting these optimization measures in an increasing number of projects spanning all stages of the change process.
Solid business in global growth markets.
In line with its strategy and building on its strong position in Europe, Wincor Nixdorf has been making good progress in the world’s growth markets. First and foremost, these include the emerging markets of the Asia/Pacific region, the Indian subcontinent and Africa, in addition to countries in Eastern Europe and Central and South America. Here, both the Banking and Retail segment have been participating directly in the significant growth generated by local economies. An additional growth market of key importance to Wincor Nixdorf is North America. In fact, the company secured another major contract here at the beginning of fiscal 2007/2008: a second of the top five retail banks in the United States opted for a Wincor Nixdorf solution to be deployed in part of its branch network, the emphasis being on the automated acceptance and processing of checks as well as cash handling.
