(Questions you should be asking)

  • How do you choose a self-service solution?
  • What are the best practices?
  • Who is most equipped to know?
  • What is the ABC of self-service?
  • What are the rules of self-service?
  • What must every enterprise know before embarking on a self-service strategy?

Answering these questions is a challenge for all managers looking to bring self-service benefits for their organizations. Further compounding the challenge is the legacy self-service industry consisting of ATM providers and associated SW vendors. These vendors have not been able to successfully present a compelling value proposition for major deployers to move beyond pre-network/Internet era software techniques and models. Consequently, the state of the self-service industry is fragmented and it remains in perpetual transition.

The bulk of ATM deployments continue to remain on the legacy OS/2 operating system and remain constrained by rigid and proprietary communication protocols. Migration to Microsoft Windows and TCP/IP is snail paced and quite often with yet more lock-ins due to rigid processing hosts, which makes the situation no easier. It is just as difficult to add new services and improve serviceability today as it was with the legacy tools.

Recognizing this Infonox has developed an end-toend strategy for self-service transformation.
