PENSACOLA, Fl., March 15th, 2006 — Deerfield Beach, FL-based Skyline Data has selected Silver Bullet’s Ranger® API as its portability strategy for DirectFED Deposit™, a transaction processing system for any organization that receives checks. The company will bundle Silver Bullet’s Ranger API with DirectFED Deposit to offer a solution that will electronically send checks for clearing by the Federal Reserve or Endpoint Exchange.
Ranger is an industry-standard software tool designed to allow item processing applications to run unchanged on a wide variety of check scanner types manufactured by BancTec, Canon, Digital Check, Epson, MagTek, Maverick, NCR, Panini, RDM, Seac Banche and Unisys. Software developers enjoy the benefits of a single check scanner interface and the freedom to mix and match check scanner types.
“As early pioneers, both Skyline Data and Silver Bullet have been instrumental in the development of the electronic check processing industry,” said Larry Cowen, president of Skyline Data. “DirectFed Deposit was the first company to run end-to-end electronic transactions from merchant to settlement though the Endpoint Exchange. Silver Bullet Technology was part of this first achievement.”
“Being on the front lines of a new technology has its challenges as well as opportunities. Skyline Data, Inc. is doing a great job of targeting the Check 21 issues their merchants face. We are proud to partner with them in this effort. By using the Ranger API, Skyline may expand options to their customers and speed new versions of their solutions to market,” said Rick Schwab, director of sales for Silver Bullet.
