FTC Adds to Available Solutions
In an effort to ensure that we remain a valuable and strategic partner to members of the financial community, FTC is expanding its list of solutions. We recently purchased from IBM the remaining inventories of new 3897 Mod 4 cameras and new PCI features. Even though check volumes continue to decline, the use of current imaging technology continues to increase. FTC is now well positioned to provide our customers with the latest technology required to upgrade older Model B or XP1 3890’s to XPCI’s. This becomes increasingly important as customers leverage the savings offered by utilizing TCP/IP as a network delivery option. In addition we can now offer our customers the option of using either new or refurbished 3897 Mod 4 cameras thus better positioning them to take advantage of the economics offered by Image Exchange.

In addition to the cameras and PCI features, FTC is expanding its portfolio of financial engineering (leasing) solutions to equipment outside of the item processing environment. As interest rates continue to rise and the cost and availability of capital gets tighter, leasing offers organizations the flexibilities that purchasing does not. FTC is now prepared to offer this financial flexibility across equipment normally found in the data center, the network infrastructure or even at the branch or merchant locations. FTC is also prepared to look at portfolio Purchase Lease Back (PLB) scenarios in an effort to assist our customers with the sometimes onerous task of managing complex portfolios in a rapidly changing technology environment. A PLB structure offers an organization the flexibility to be able to move equipment in and out of the infrastructure as demands increase or wane that they could not achieve if they owned all of the assets

FTC Disaster Recovery Services
First Technology Capital (FTC) offers an array of disaster recovery solutions for its customers. The recovery solutions in place today provide maximum protection in the event of a customer’s loss of all or part of its check/paper transaction processing operations. FTC provides a comprehensive solution – sorters/equipment, image cameras, workspace, technology/connectivity and logistics.

Check Processing Recovery
FTC offers check/paper transaction processing recovery from either of two facilities containing comprehensive hardware dedicated to minimizing business disruptions in the event of an interruption to one of their customer’s production processing environments. The largest of these facilities is located in Gilbert, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona and the other is located in Smyrna, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. While the Gilbert site is owned and operated by FTC, the Smyrna facility is owned and operated by Sungard Data Systems in partnership with FTC. This East Coast/West Coast solution provides FTC’s customers with maximum flexibility in the event of some form of regional disruption or any situation where more than one customer requires access to the primary recovery site.

To ensure maximum roll-back capability in the event of a multiple disaster scenario, both sites are equipped with telecommunications capability that allows for remote connectivity to mainframes located at either a customer’s production site or a recovery center. Both facilities are designed to accommodate shared and customer-dedicated recovery configurations. In addition there is ample space and infrastructure to cover the event where the customer’s equipment requirements go beyond the shared pool of available hardware. Often this need for incremental hardware can be satisfied from FTC’s “speculative inventory” and can be shipped either to the recovery center or the customer’s production site.
