NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) is a technology company specializing in solutions for the retail and financial industries. Its main products are point-of-sale terminals, automatic teller machines, check processing systems, barcode scanners, business consumables and high-powered data warehousing systems. They also are one of the largest providers of IT maintenance support services. From 1988 to 1997 they sponsored the NCR Book Award for non-fiction.
The company was founded in 1884 and acquired by AT&T in 1991. A restructuring of AT&T in 1996 led to NCR's re-establishment on 1 January 1997 as a separate company, and also involved the spin-off from AT&T of Lucent Technologies. NCR is the only AT&T spin-off that has retained its original name — all others have either been purchased or renamed following subsequent mergers.
On 26 January 2006, the company reported revenue of $6.028 billion for the twelve months ending 31 December 2005.[1]
