EUROTECH AND MONDIALPOL SIGN AN AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST CLOUD
COMPUTING TRACKING APPLICATION IN CASH TRANSPORT FOR INTESA
SANPAOLO
Mondialpol Service S.p.A., the national operator in Italy of cash
transport and counting services for Intesa Sanpaolo, will monitor
activities in real time through "Cloud Ready" devices from Eurotech
with data management on cloud computing. Amaro (Italy) � Milan
(Italy) � 6 June 2011 � Eurotech and Mondialpol Service today
announced the finalisation of an agreement for the real-time
monitoring of deliveries and withdrawals of cash via cloud
computing thanks to "Cloud Ready" mobile devices from Eurotech. The
agreement will allow to significantly improve the service level
provided to the Intesa Sanpaolo Group, making cash transport and
counting more efficient and increasing security standards, and this
demonstrates the strong innovation spirit of this banking Group.
This is the first security application in Italy to use this
technology, and Eurotech's partnership with the Mondialpol group is
intended to transform the cash transport sector, which until now
has been managed in the traditional way. Another innovating element
is the "Device-as-a-Service" (DaaS) supply model, which will enable
Mondialpol to purchase the Eurotech solution by paying a monthly
fee for a period of three years for each device that will be put
into service during 2011. The solution consists of providing the
crews of the armoured trucks of all the 130 cash transport
companies involved in the contract with a portable Eurotech HRC4200
device, which enables the barcodes on the money bundles to be read
at the moment of delivery, identifying the time, type of operation
(withdrawal/delivery), the branch at which the operation is taking
place, the GPS position that can be viewed on a map, and the
security guard and the contact person at the bank conducting the
operation, with an option for the bank contact person to digitally
sign directly on the Eurotech device. Thanks to Eurotech's
"Device-to-Cloud" technology, value-added data generated in a
distributed way by all the different portable devices is collected
and conveyed securely in real time to the Cloud infrastructure. In
Cloud there is a controlled access to data, enabling everyone to
see or manage the data for which they are responsible; and data of
interest can then be downloaded from the Cloud to Mondialpol
Service's management system, so that it can be integrated with the
information produced by the rest of the process.

"We chose Eurotech's Device-to-Cloud technology for its capacity to
manage data directly in cloud computing, given that we expect
between 12,000 and 15,000 bundles a day to be exchanged with Intesa
Sanpaolo. We calculated that we conducted around 900,000 transport
operations last year, and when we saw these numbers, we immediately
became concerned about how to manage such a quantity of data
without our system feeling the effects", explained Fabio Mura,
Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of Mondialpol
Service S.p.A.. "Now that we want to electronically certify
deliveries in order to monitor service levels in real time, and are
planning to manage service billing more automatically, we are
counting on Eurotech to provide data transmission, collection and
management capacities, key factors in enabling all the functions
that we need". "This agreement shows Eurotech's capability to
anticipate the needs of the market with technology that is always
cutting edge, and demonstrates how it can be applied in a wide
variety of sectors. Our Device Data Management via Cloud solution
enables us to relieve companies of the need to manage and protect
with their own IT infrastructure growing quantities of
heterogeneous data arriving from devices spread in different
geographical locations, and the Device-as-a-Service supply model
relieves them of the burden of the initial investment, which often
slows companies' adoption of new technologies," added Roberto
Siagri, CEO and Chairman of Eurotech.
NB: although the contract is worth less than 1 million a year, the
agreement in itself is important for the company, in that it shows
the development of a technology with potential application in
different sectors, which could subsequently lead to further volume
orders. In this case, Eurotech reasserts its commitment to promptly
inform the market.
