NCR Announces Acquisition of Edge Virtualization Technology Provider Zynstra

NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), a global enterprise technology company for the retail, hospitality and banking industries, today announced the acquisition of U.K.-based Zynstra, a provider of edge virtualization technology. CR and Zynstra have worked together for several years, reflected in the launch of NCR Software Defined Store introduced in January 2019 and in use by companies like Pilot Flying J. This unique, subscription-based virtualization solution is one of the critical pillars of NCR’s next-generation store architecture for the retail and hospitality industries. By virtualizing back and front office technology, businesses can realize significant hardware cost savings and enterprise technology management can be much more cost effective. For example, with a simple swipe of the screen a device can change from a POS terminal to an inventory management console.
