According to the agreement, Unisys will offer consulting services, software and hardware to provide an end-to-end check imaging platform that will help Huntington validate checks and settle transactions.
It will also offer its image security software to verify image quality and usability, allowing the bank to validate images with digital signatures at the first stage of the process.
Unisys said the program features a payment information engine and archive for images and data that can track and use information more effectively across an entire financial institution. The engine aims to present a more strategic view of operating practices to deploy across a company to save costs. In addition, it can access various external systems, internal image databases and complete payment histories, in an effort to enable the bank to more effectively import, capture and manage transactional information.
The product will run on Microsoft’s Windows Server 2003 operating system and uses the SQL Server 2000 database application.
Unisys recently announced that it is working with Oracle to adapt the Unisys payment information engine and archive for Oracle Database 10g. Future plans include versions of the Unisys solutions for Linux to provide financial institutions with a robust enterprise view of payments, regardless of the technology platform.
