According to an ATMIA press release, the new guide examines the features, specifications and benefits of Linux- and Android-based ATMs, as well as WinCE-based retail ATMs, with the aim of providing deployers a foundation for strategic analysis and preparation for next-generation ATMs.
The study was authored by award-winning industry consultant Eric de Putter, managing partner at Payments Redesign, with input from the association's next-generation ATM architecture committee.
