WHO WE ARE

Loaded with equipment – over 100 devices, in fact – the PTC is perfectly suited to comprehensive, in-house training.  Located in Elmhurst, IL, it’s where our engineers and technicians are educated on the equipment we maintain, while refining their knowledge through a dynamic curriculum responsive to changes in the industry, technology and customer base.

Included is support for manufacturers’ equipment related to ATM, recycler and intelligent safe technologies.  We provide our field engineers with onsite training that includes a 60/40% mix of hands-on and classroom training experience.

The PTC and our Plymouth technology lab are where level 2 and level 3 engineers support field engineers seven days a week, across all time zones.

It’s where we train our techs to follow a first-time resolution philosophy – fix it right the first time – as well as our customer-focused, 7-step delivery method: Prepare, Analyze, Isolate, Resolve, Confirm, Prevent and Report.

You won’t find a more impressive facility multiple layers of technical support and the right kind of training. No wonder more than 1000 financial and retail institutions choose Burroughs!

Parts

With a wide array of supply chain vendors/partners supporting our acquisition of parts, Burroughs’ ability to control our end-to-end supply chain is strong and effective with consistent quality control standards.

Burroughs elected to invest in an independent and certified repair operation, which has been inspected and certified many times by OEM auditors.  Service-focused to ensure that we maintain control of our own repairable inventory, we manage repair quality and spare parts availability better than other providers.  We continue to maintain and improve upon this process today, with detailed quality control analysis and review.

Diagnostics

Burroughs works with both original and third-party diagnostics for OEM equipment to help in the isolation of faults.  Our selected solution works on both current generation as well as legacy equipment.

We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions pertaining to Burroughs’ support of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) equipment, and we welcome additional questions here.

• How important is OEM certification to a service organization?
  OEM certifications and partnerships represent one aspect of support, and Burroughs takes advantage of this when necessary.  However, the true delivery of quality service and availability requires much more – it requires a dedication and culture committed to service excellence. Because we do not manufacture equipment or develop software, we dedicate resources to high quality service delivery each and every day, providing best-in-class uptime, and flexible solutions for your ATM and cash automation channel.
• How are Burroughs Engineers trained?
  We perform primarily in-house training with dedicated staff.  Our staff stays up to date on product changes through close integration with our clients, vendor partners, external sources and our product engineering/support group.  In most cases, our product support engineering and training staff develop training coursework at our lab and technical support facilities.  When and where necessary we have hired  product support resources with specific experience.
• How do you support technicians on so many different models of equipment?
  With the exception of certain basic types of equipment (retail cash dispensers for example), we always have between one and three devices of different form factors in our technical lab.  These devices are an important component in supporting our training development, onsite classes and Level 2 / 3 technical support.
• From where does Burroughs get parts?
  Parts quality is extremely important to us. Burroughs has developed an extensive network of suppliers, both OEM and 3^rd party, from which we source parts.
• Can Burroughs pull diagnostics “trace” files from ATMs?   Yes, we routinely pull them for analysis in trouble-shooting.
  
• When an OEM releases a new ATM model, how long does it take Burroughs to get technicians trained on that model?
  Burroughs provides support for new equipment functionality from between 0 to 180 days of product release. The range is dependent upon the complexity level of the equipment or change, including whether or not onsite training is deemed to be required.  We work with our client or vendor partners to obtain equipment that Burroughs would own and utilize for our training and support needs.
• Do you need any documentation, training, etc. from an OEM in order to service that ATM?
  No.  We have performed our own internal training for OEM support for more than 20 years.  This has given us the ability to tailor our training specific to our fleet and the real-world issues that our field engineers and tech support group encounter.  It is also one of the reasons why we have co-located our training group with our Level 2/3 tech support.
