VISTAatm Goes Live at TD Canada TrustDemonstrates the Flexibility of VISTAatmLondon, Ontario - August 16, 2005 - Phoenix Interactive's industry leading multi-vendor ATM terminal software solution, VISTAatm, officially went 'live' at TD Canada Trust ("TD") on the evening of August 15th, 2005. The initial deployment represents the first phase of TD's ATM network outsourcing agreement with Hewlett Packard and its consortium of ATM industry vendors that includes Phoenix. The deployment reinforces the flexibility of the VISTAatm platform as it connected to TD's current switch using 473x messaging protocol. In response to TD's initial requirement to use the 473x messaging protocol in a Windows environment, Phoenix provided a separate custom module for VISTAatm within the TD environment without impacting project timelines. VISTAatm's flexibility continues to be critical in the next phase of the project when TD's ATM network will migrate to an ACI BASE24 switch using the open-standard IFX messaging protocol. TD ATMs currently using VISTAatm communicating with 473x will easily begin communicating with the new BASE24 switch via IFX after a simple configuration change and without requiring any redevelopment of the deployed VISTAatm application.
