LONDON, August 19 /PRNewswire/ --     Level Four, the leading provider of open standards-based ATM
software, today announced that the Mauritius Commercial Bank (MCB) has
successfully gone live with its ATM Developer automated testing solution. MCB
is the largest bank in Mauritius and has an ATM estate of 146 machines.
Through the use of Level Four's ATM Developer, the bank is now able to
automate the testing of its ATMs, speeding up the deployment of new ATM
software and services and reduce the amount of internal resource required.

Before the deployment of ATM Developer, MCB performed manual
testing to ensure any change to the ATM network didn't impact the channel's
availability. This time-intensive exercise was performed on physical ATMs and
impeded the rapid deployment of software updates and service enhancements.

In view of further improving the service delivery to its
clients, MCB required an automated testing and development application
capable of streamlining the bank's process and reducing the time to market
for new services. The bank signed the contract with Level Four in March 2009
before going live with ATM Developer in June 2009.

By deploying ATM Developer, MCB is now able to perform
thorough testing, carry out parallel testing and respond to business
requirements in considerably less time than its previous manual testing
process allowed. It will enable the bank to test Bunch Note Acceptance (BNA)
transactions, which it plans to introduce soon, and to simulate all possible
device faults without the need for physical ATM testing. Without ATM
Developer, the introduction of BNA transactions would have been challenging
as they require more frequent and rigorous testing of the ATM network due to
the increased complexities involved.

Jean-Francois Provencal, Self-Service Banking Coordinator of
MCB says: "ATM Developer is a very interesting tool. It allows us to simulate
scenarios and test new ATM functionalities/screens that we want to implement.
We have a range of new services and products coming soon that we wish to
operate through our ATM network and being able to automate the testing will
save us time and money. Being able to perform comprehensive tests from a
laptop in our office and at a time convenient to us - instead of having to be
physically present in the ATM labs - are a few of the benefits of having this
tool. Moreover we no longer have to keep different ATM models or occupy space
in ATM labs."

Ian Kerr, CEO, Level Four, said: "This is our first contract
in Mauritius and it is pleasing to see the largest bank in the country
recognizing the benefits that automated testing can bring. The fact that MCB
primarily deployed ATM Developer to support the launch of their own new
products and services through the ATM is a testament to the significant
business benefits this software brings to our customers."
