ATLANTA,
November 6, 2006 – Compris Technologies Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), and ViVOtech today
announced that they have launched contactless payment solutions

Combined with point-of-sale (POS) software from Compris, these solutions
provide payment options at a variety of customer touch points. ViVOpay
DTm™ is a drive-thru terminal designed to speed up drive-thru
lane transactions with fast and convenient contactless and magnetic
strip card payments. ViVOpay Dine™ is a portable payment terminal

payment device designed to provide seamless, functional integration
with existing POS and electronic cash register stations to increase
checkout efficiencies and up-selling opportunities.
"We are excited to work with Compris to deliver next generation
contactless payments to consumers,” said Mohammad Khan, ViVOtech
president and founder. “Together, we are enhancing the payment
experience for customers by providing greater speed and convenience,
and extending the effectiveness of retail gift and loyalty programs.”
“For over a decade, Compris software solutions have enabled
top chains to grow their business through innovation and best-in-class
operations,” said Alaa Pasha, president of Compris. “The
integration of Compris software with ViVOtech’s contactless
payment terminals provides yet another way for restaurateurs to
use innovation and technology to build a better business through
improved efficiency and quality of service.”
