i-design secures first contract in Canada

Dundee, Scotland-based firm i-design, a provider of customer engagement software and interface design solutions for the self-service channel, has announced that they have signed a multi-year agreement with a large Canadian bank for its targeted marketing software joono to be integrated in their ATM's.

This latest deal was secured via i-design's channel partner in Canada, IBM Canada Limited, and is the Scottish firm's first win via IBM.

"This contract expands our presence in North America significantly, taking i-design's software into Canada for the first time. We are also delighted that this is the first contract win secured via our channel partner, IBM Canada Limited, and look forward to working together on future opportunities," said Ana Stewart, CEO of i-design.

"We believe that joono represents an unrivalled digital marketing proposition for banks and we continue to see exciting opportunities both in the UK and internationally for our software."

joono replaces i-design’s market leading solution, atmAd, and has been designed to offer customers greater functionality and range. The solution enables banks to communicate with their customers through a larger number of channels, including mobile phones and LCD screens, in addition to ATMs and self-service machines.

Shares in i-design rose 4% after the Scottish cash machine technology specialist announced it had won its first contract in Canada.
