NCR Buys Netkey to Provide End-to-End Kiosk and Digital Signage Solution

Acquisition Advances NCR`s Self-Service Growth and Leadership across Multiple
Industries
DULUTH, Ga.--(Business Wire)--
NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) announced today that it has purchased the assets of
Netkey, Inc., a market-leading provider of kiosk and digital signage software
applications used by leading companies to deliver a growing range of
multi-industry self-service applications such as gift registry, guided selling,
endless aisle and human resources functions. Terms were not disclosed.

ABI Research predicts that companies will spend more than $1 billion globally on
digital signage solutions next year, growing at an average of 20 percent per
year for the next five years, while kiosk deployments will grow an average of 19
percent per year during the same period.

Netkey`s enterprise software platform uses a proven scalable architecture that
enables fast and flexible development of applications for kiosk and digital
signage-based solutions. NCR will combine Netkey`s software platform with its
own technologies to provide a best-in-class enterprise solution, which includes
software applications, one of the broadest hardware portfolios in the industry,
and a suite of services. NCR will continue to provide multivendor hardware
support with the Netkey solution.

Headquartered in East Haven, Conn., Netkey has over 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.

"This acquisition makes perfect sense from a customer perspective," said Jenny
Hinsman, vice president of kiosk solutions for Pitney Bowes. "We use Netkey`s
application on NCR`s hardware for our Mail & Go Shipping kiosk. We now have one
point of contact and, more importantly, are dealing with one company that is now
even better positioned to lead the advance and growth of the self-service
industry."

Netkey will provide NCR with a robust digital signage application that is built
on the same platform as Netkey`s kiosk applications, making NCR`s solutions
faster to deploy and easier to support.

"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," said Mike Webster, vice
president and general manager for NCR`s retail line of business. "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.

"In doing so, NCR will take a best-in-class solution, combine it with
best-in-class hardware and services, and deliver compelling competitive
advantage, ultimately on a global basis.

Our approach is an example of NCR executing its software-driven,
hardware-enabled and services-led corporate strategy."
