Built upon the IBM OS/2 platform, the Atrium software benefits from running on one of the most stable operating systems in the marketplace. Stability is the main reason that over 90% of the ATM machines in the USA run on IBM's OS/2 operating system. The OS/2 operating system is also remarkably free from today's software achilles heel -- software viruses.

As the Atrium has been installed through out several generations of hardware platforms, there exists a price point for every user. Fujitsu-ICL's latest, state of the art, TeamPOS 2000 (TP2K) PC based register supports the Atrium software, as well as a substantial refurbished market of dedicated Atrium9000 and PC based TeamPOS 5000 (TP5K) terminals.

With over 5,000 different parameter modifications to choose from, it is not a matter of what the Atrium software can do -- it is a matter of what do you want your Atrium software to do for you. The Atrium POS system is a very mature POS package with support for an ever growing number of transactions and features. The next Atrium release will include support for the K Format, Time In/Out, improved Alphanumeric Data Capture, enhancements to Date Prompt, Employee Verification, Employee Log On, Inquiry 3 X Read, and Inquiry 4 - Deposit Report. Numerous retailers including K B Toys, TJX, Staples, Carlton Cards, Daffy's, The Museum Company, and many others currently run the Atrium POS system.

Arguably one of the easiest POS systems in the world to learn, the Atrium software supports up to 500,000 entries in the PLU file, both asynchronous and bisynchronous polling, on-line help screens, and has 27 different in-store reports to support managerial oversight of the store. The store manager can easily access the following report categories:
