R ECAP OF THE F OURTEENTH A NNUAL REA

M EETING AND R EUNION 2011 … BY B OB B ARONE

f you missed the NCR REA organization’s Fourth Reunion, you missed a fabulous time. It began on Thursday evening, September 22, with an NCR-sponsored cocktail reception at the Presidential Banquet Center in Kettering, OH. The setting was beautiful and Ithe atmosphere was one of old friends and colleagues meeting and catching up on old times. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres were served, along with beer and wine. Cakes with our unique NCR REA logo went perfectly with our coffee. A keepsake bag, sponsored by Universal 1 Credit Union, contained a customized DVD, an NCR logo pen, the formal program, and tickets to the various events and directions to the venues. Photos of NCR memorabilia graced the walls throughout. On Friday morning, September 23, the Fourteenth Annual NCR REA meeting commenced at the NCR Country Club. The turnout was fantastic. With over 220 attendees, more than 20 percent of them traveled from outside Ohio. The US attendee who traveled the farthest was Dan Trent from Nevada. Walter and Ilse Koenig came from Germany, and Ian Ormerod, who presented us with an NCR flag, came from the UK. The start off the morning, we enjoyed a continental breakfast as we reminisced over old times and previous reunions. After that, the official meeting proceedings began.

Informative Presentations After REA President Gordon Meister’s eloquent introduction and State of the REA remarks, attendees were treated to presentations from NCR’s Jeff Garrity, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, NCR Industry Solutions Group, and Brady Kress, President and CEO, Dayton History. Mr. Garrity addressed NCR’s overall company strategy and covered NCR’s position in its traditional retail and financial markets, both of which remain strong in the current economy. He also discussed the continuing emphasis on fast-growing markets in healthcare, transportation, and entertainment. The acquisition of Radiant Systems, a provider of advanced software solutions for the hospitality and specialty retail markets, is an example of the company’s focus on consumer activities. Mr. Garrity also spoke proudly of his time spent at NCR in Dayton and reiterated the prominent display of pictures and historical items at the Georgia headquarters. NCR’s Janet Brewer, Vice President of Communications, fielded questions from the audience. Mr. Brady Kress gave an overview of the facilities, which the Dayton History organization manages. In addition to the marvelous facility at Carillon Park, Dayton History also oversees the NCR Archive Center, Hawthorn Hill, the Paul Laurence Dunbar House, the Old Courthouse, and Memorial Hall. Mr. Kress then went on to explain what new exhibits we were scheduled to view at the newly updated Heritage Center of Manufacturing and Entrepreneurship at Carillon Park. Following the meeting, over 200 folks stayed for lunch. Afterwards, some attendees visited Carillon Park while others toured Hawthorn Hill (the Wright Brothers’ home). The new exhibits at Carillon Park included the Deed’s barn, a full-scale carousel, and over 150 antique NCR cash registers and accounting machines. One highlight of the visit was a discussion of Dayton inventions in the Animatronics’ Theater, featuring John Patterson, the Wright Brothers, Charles Kettering, and Colonel E.A. Deeds. A lifelike Mrs. Deeds is provided at the entrance of the center. The grand finale was indeed grand. We gathered at the 1700 River Campus of the University of Dayton (formerly NCR World Headquarters). Once inside, Julie Mitchell, Assistant Dean, Special Programs & Continuing Education, welcomed us home. Julie gave us an opportunity to tour some renovated areas of the building and provided us with some first-class snacks and drinks. John H. Patterson (Dick Beach) took time from his busy schedule to give us a review of past and current NCR/UD relationships and partnerships, many of which Mr. Patterson initiated himself. Finally, President Gordon Meister thanked everyone for coming and officially closed our reunion. All in all, it was a great time! We hope to see you at our next Annual Meeting scheduled for September 20, 2012. NCR Retiree News P a g e 6

n August 24, 2011, NCR closed on the acquisition of Radiant Systems, Inc., the #1 provider in the U.S. hospitality O industry and a market leader in multi- channel point-of-sale and managed service solutions. The $1.2 billion acquisition – the most substantive growth initiative NCR has executed in 20 years – brought together two leading technology companies and created multiple avenues to drive revenue growth and operating efficiencies.

“Radiant is an incredibly good fit for the new NCR,” said Bill Nuti, NCR Chairman and CEO. “The company not only brings great innovation and world-class solutions, but talented people and a culture focused on what matters – people, customers and shareholders.”

The acquisition of Radiant supports NCR’s strategy of expanding into core business adjacencies and new industry segments, while expanding multichannel capabilities and improving revenue mix with a higher percentage of software and services.

Following the acquisition, NCR established a third core line of business (LoB) – Hospitality and Specialty Retail – leveraging Radiant’s leadership position in serving quick service and table service restaurants, convenience and specialty retailers and entertainment venues. Andy Heyman, formerly the Chief Operating Officer of Radiant, leads the new LoB.

“The vision of the new NCR is to create a company that leads how the world connects, interacts and transacts with business,” Nuti said. “Our mission is to provide our customers with the next generation of productivity gains and customer experience innovation through our deep knowledge of the changing global consumer and technology; and the relationship between these two ideals is so critical in today's world.”

n March 5, 1968, NCR introduced the Century Series computers.

O With this new line of equipment, NCR staked a claim for a substantially larger share of the total computer market with the worldwide introduction of a major new family of data- processing systems. The Century program represented an investment of $154 million in research, engineering, software, new production facilities and equipment, and in training of marketing and service personnel. At that time, the lower-priced systems were oriented toward the “mass computer market,” including “first- time” computer users! In addition to high-performance equipment at relatively low cost, this market also required ready-to-use supporting software, beamed at the specific requirements of different lines of business.
