The cover theme for this nine-month interim report is based on the IT processes that now pervade many of the structures established by global corporations like a vast nervous system. The task of optimizing these IT and business processes within the branch operations of banks and retailers lies at the heart of Wincor Nixdorf’s activities. Our aim is to provide innovative solutions combining hardware, software and services in order to design customer processes that are efficient, cost-effective and user-friendly. Increasingly, this involves the implementation of self-service and automated solutions.

More and more, Wincor Nixdorf is also applying the expertise it has gained over many years to postal service providers and service station operators. These companies are characterized by well-defined branch networks and complex processes and therefore have much in common with businesses in the banking and retail industries.
