My first "real" job was in 1984 with Texas American (Bank) Services in Fort Worth. When I started we were in the process of "insourcing" all of our applications from EDS and one of the first three we brought back in house was ATM processing (followed by ACH and Corporate Trust). TASI built a new operations center in Bedford to be closer to the airport (for cash letter transit) and Memorial Day weekend, 1984 we moved two 3890 sorters, a 3083, 4341 and a 370/148. During the move, IBM loaned us a 4341 and DASD that ran the ATMs and the interface to PULSE for the weekend.
Does anyone remember the CICS-based ATM software that the old MTech wrote and marketed? Later on in 1985 I did a tour of duty with UCCEL's ACM/CTS (Asset Card Manager/Consumer Transaction System) CICS=based ATM / card management software.

And oh by the way, it also sounds exactly like the bank that was my employer twenty-mumble years ago. Tandems are extremely common as front-end switch systems in the financial sector. They are not so widely used to process the actual back-end trx and dbms work, but there are quite a few of those too. They did (and still do) a very decent job of it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
