NCR to open new R&D centre in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: US-based omni-channel solutions provider, NCR Corporation, on Thursday said it would be moving its Hyderabad research and development (R&D) facility to a new location at Raheja Mindspace in Hyderabad. The new centre, which is expected to be ready by early 2017, will be a global centre of excellence for NCR.

Starting in 2004 with 50 engineers, the New York Stock Exchange-listed company’s current Hyderabad R&D centre now houses more than 800 professionals focused on software development for the financial, retail and hospitality industries, as well as 125 consultants supporting customer deployment of NCR’s technologies.

NCR’s Hyderabad R&D centre is already developing and supporting software and services that global institutions use to empower consumers through self-service applications like the Interactive Teller ATM, EMV contactless ATM (automatic teller machine) cash withdrawals, mobile cash withdrawals, mobile check deposits, EMV-enabled multi-industry payments systems, retail self-checkout lanes, CRM platforms, and cinema and stadium systems management solutions.

“As we continue to build out our innovative, omni-channel architecture, the Hyderabad facility will play an important role as a strategic global center for software development,” Eli Rosner, Senior Vice-President and Chief Technology Officer (software solutions) at NCR Corporation, said in a
statement.
