ABACO – Exhibition and Conference on Banking / Retail Automation and Self-Service is the pioneer event on Banking Automation in Brazil. It is also the only event in the country that acknowledges the affinity of the financial services and retail segments, opening space for the discussion of the main technology advancements with common interests, and their strategic and operational benefits. Although traditionally the financial services sector concentrates a larger slice of IT investments, the recent advancements in the in-store banking area, payment systems, self-service and e-commerce bring increasingly closer the two sectors that benefit from examining cases and solutions developed by large and small companies in each one. Having additionally in common the large credit market, now in fast expansion in the country, the two sectors exchange knowledge and make easier their decisions by following the technology developments directed more specifically to each one. Therefore, although with a higher emphasis on Banking Automation, ABACO fulfills an important role in the synergistic process of the integration of the two sectors and attracts vendors and attendees with specific and also common interests from both areas.

The main subjects of the event include new Self-Service challenges, Wireless and Mobile, Voice Recognition, RFID, Electronic Billing, Home Brokers, Security, Digital Certification, Fraud control, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), IT Governance, Outsourcing, among others. The subjects are covered in speeches, cases, panels and debates at the Conference, and in demonstrations and folder distributions at the Exhibition. The technologies related to those subjects are the basis of the event, either as hardware with devices like servers, terminals, networks, etc., software solutions, systems or specific applications, as well as services like data centers, storage, call-centers, consulting, education, etc..
