NCR Corp. announced this morning that it has purchased the assets of Netkey, a digital signage and kiosk software provider based in East Haven , Conn. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.
Netkey’s software platform is used to manage digital signage networks as well as self-service applications like gift registry, guided selling, endless aisle and human resources functions.
Netkey has more than 75,000 kiosks and digital signs installed by more than 400 clients in the retail, finance, transportation and government sectors. Many of these customers also use NCR ’s kiosk, self-checkout or point-of-sale solutions.
NCR will combine Netkey’s software platform with its own software to create an enterprise software solution to accompany NCR’s hardware portfolio and suite of services. NCR will continue to provide multivendor hardware support with the Netkey solution.
Mike Webster, vice president and general manager for NCR ’s retail line of business, commented on the acquisition:
Consumers increasingly expect to interact with companies when and how they wish, and businesses are responding by offering their customers a seamless experience across the channel of their choice. This acquisition will enable NCR to help its customers across multiple industries with kiosk and digital signage solutions that deliver more effective transactions, promotions and information as part of a merged-channel strategy.

IBM: AS/400 (1)
The Challenges of Running ERP on a 20-year-old Computer System
TEC recently conducted an enterprise resource planning (ERP) selection project for a company using AS/400 computer systems—the venerable old workhorses first introduced by IBM in 1988. We were struck—as you will be too—at how "vintage" the user environment is compared with today's modern systems. In today's feature blog post, read about the difficulties in running a modern ERP system on a 20-year-old computer—one that still uses monitors with green-black screens.
Today's second feature blog post offers you a handy road map for successful software selection that comes from a rather off-beat perspective. You'll see what we mean when you read it.
With the high cost of ERP updates and modifications, did you ever wonder what other companies are investing in terms of money, time, and effort to keep their ERP systems up to date? Find out in today's feature white paper.
