WESTBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 5, 2017--
Virtusa Corporation (NASDAQ GS: VRTU), a global business consulting and
IT outsourcing company that accelerates business outcomes for its
clients, announced today it has been awarded a Bronze Stevie Award at
The 2017 International Business Awards for Best New FinTech Product or
Service of the Year for the company’s Smart ATM solution, a unique thin
client application. Virtusa’s
Smart ATM solution helps clients jumpstart their ATM platform
initiatives while substantially reducing implementation time.
“The continuing evolution of digital banking has caused banks to
examine the traditional ATM as an alternative channel for sales and
marketing. Banks have realized they can drive cross-selling and more
personalized services through ATMs, which continue to remain a top
interaction point for most customers,” said Bob Graham, global solutions
head, Banking and Financial Services, Virtusa. “Banks have the
opportunity to leverage browser-based ATMs to offer select similar
services and capabilities that exist in their online or mobile channels.
This leads to a more seamless, consistent, and personalized customer
experience across multiple interaction channels. Our Smart ATM solution
is designed to help banks meet these requirements and we are proud to
receive this recognition in acknowledgement of this.”
Virtusa’s Smart ATM is built using lightweight, open-source technologies
to provide a browser-based solution for ATM services. Its architecture
is tailored to support a bank’s micro-services API, enable an
omni-channel ATM experience, and offer personalized financial products
and services by utilizing an aggregate customer satisfaction index based
on customer mood, demography, preferences, and profile.
Having operated a client-first banking practice for more than 25 years,
Virtusa has delivered a variety of successful solutions to several
global banks, top brokerage firms, and card and payment providers. As
retail banks increasingly adopt digital banking approaches to support
multiple delivery channels across different banking activities, Virtusa
is helping banks rationalize their technology to reduce costs and adapt
to evolving business requirements. Utilizing its collaborative and
consultative approach, all-encompassing smart technology
(Fintech/X-Tech) labs with unique sandbox environments, and a nimble
team of experts, Virtusa enables clients to choose the right set of
technologies to address their business challenges and capitalize on
market opportunities.
The International Business Awards are the world’s premier business
awards program. The 2017 IBAs received a record total of more than 3,900
nominations from organizations for consideration across a wide range of
categories. Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores
