CLAI Centroamerica, S.A. Automates ATM Software Testing with Paragon


(Holly Springs, NC - November 27, 2007) Paragon Application Systems, the leading global
provider of electronic payment (ePayment) simulation, configuration and testing software, today announced the licensing of its ATMulator software to CLAI de Centroamerica, S.A. (CLAI), a leading software developer in Central America. CLAI will use Paragon's ATM simulation and testing tool, ATMulator, to conduct comprehensive unit and regression testing of their AUTORIZA400 software without using a real ATM.

CLAI's AUTORIZA400 software offers financial institutions a complete system for ATM driving, EFT and card management. CLAI is using ATMulator to test the downloads they create with AUTORIZA400, to generate specific alarms and ATM conditions that are difficult to obtain from real ATMs, and to test new functions in their software.

"With Paragon's ATMulator, it's easy to make improvements in our AUTORIZA400 software and to create and test new functions," says Luis Fernando Carmona, General Manager of CLAI. "Because ATMulator runs step-by-step through transactions, we can introduce changes in our system at the same time that we run ATMulator. This increases our testing efficiency." "One of the reasons that we chose Paragon was because of their local distributor, Juarez y Calvo, S.A.," adds Carmona. "We've received excellent support from them and any issues that we've had have been addressed quickly and efficiently."

"Paragon is pleased to partner with CLAI to provide best-of-breed ePayment solutions to the Latin American banking sector," says Jim Perry, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Paragon Application Systems.
