PENSACOLA, Fl., November 5, 2005 - Silver Bullet Technology, Inc., based in Pensacola, FL, has launched a new Check 21 solution to protect banks from uncertainties associated with deploying large numbers of desktop check scanners. Silver Bullet's Outrider™ is a comprehensive software suite comprised of Peacemaker™, Ranger®, Ranger IQA™ and Scout™. The suite offers scanner portability, MICR quality analysis and repair, and remote health monitoring for check scanners.

Silver Bullet is recognized as the foremost experts in check scanning technology. "Many banks are concerned about the poor MICR and image quality they are receiving from their inexpensive check scanners," said Bryan Clark, CEO of Silver Bullet Technology. "Large banks are also looking for new tools to help them manage hundreds of thousands of check scanners in the field. By addressing these challenges, Outrider reduces risk and allows banks to acquire new customers quickly."

Peacemaker automatically detects and repairs MICR quality problems commonly associated with inexpensive check scanners. Peacemaker detects most character substitution errors and reduces labor costs by automating many MICR data entry tasks.

Ranger's universal check scanner interface provides banks the freedom to add support for new check scanners without upgrading their application software. As the remote deposit industry evolves, having the flexibility to mix-and-match check scanners and software applications will allow banks to quickly capture customers who purchased a competitor's solution.

Ranger IQA is the standard for check scanning image quality assurance at the point-of-capture. Ranger IQA is in compliance with industry standards and currently supports 14 of the 16 tests established by the FSTC and ANSI X9B.

Scout monitors the health of deployed check scanners remotely. Through web-based reports, technical support teams may monitor scanning workstations any time and from anywhere. Remote monitoring enables support teams to fix problems before they affect customers. Email alerts will notify banks when problems occur and will generate reports documenting scanner usage and data quality statistics. Support teams can also track and compare the MICR quality, image quality, and jam rates across scanner models.
