Our core financial and retail businesses have further stabilized and our multi-channel self-service technologies continue to gain mindshare and market penetration. Looking ahead, we believe our focus on generating profitable revenue growth, striving for best-in-class cost structure, and fulfilling our ongoing commitment to innovation all combine to position NCR to benefit as the economic recovery continues and the consumer self-service revolution accelerates.”
