Nexus Software, Inc., a provider of integration middleware and services for retail financial front-end and mid-tier systems, announced the latest release within its INvolve family of multi-channel middleware, INvolve 3.7.

INvolve is a middleware suite of products that provides retail banking solutions with one development environment for device integration, enabling financial institutions to deploy technology easily among a variety of channels.  With INvolve 3.7, Nexus continues to lower the total cost of client device management, while providing increased deployment and solution architecture choices.

"With INvolve 3.7, our bank customers gain more flexibility in their ability to deploy solutions across their retail delivery channels, while also ensuring investment protection on their hardware and software decisions," said Skip Williams, general manager for Nexus Software, Inc.  "As with every release within the INvolve middleware product family, our ATM and branch device support has expanded, enabling us to further enhance our extensive technology offering and compatibility with financial systems."

INvolve 3.7 includes major enhancements to distributed client capabilities, which allows a centralized location in the bank network to manage client software and device setup, update and configuration with minimal employee involvement.  The increased development and deployment capabilities of the middleware create a "zero touch" installation and maintenance environment, so the bank can spend more time interacting with customers than its technology.   

"As a result of implementing INvolve 3.7 and distributed client, channel operating and maintenance costs are lowered for banks and integrated software distribution for device management is automated," said Robert Usner, Nexus Software director of Marketing, Product Management and Quality Assurance.  "By removing as much of the human element as possible, a bank can reduce manual error and increase employee/customer interaction and relationships."

INvolve 3.7 supports smart clients and traditional thick clients as well as slim and thin clients within Citrix® MetaframeT and Windows® Terminal Services environments.
