Newgen Software Technologies Limited is a leading company in Business Process Management (BPM) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM). The company has launched its next generation Cheque Truncation System (CTS) adapted to RBI “CTS – 2010 standard”.

Newgen’s research and development team has been working on the different aspects of cheque security and automatic data extraction for quite some time and now we can derive immense returns from these innovations”.

This standard also have another innovative security features - pantograph and ultra-violet logos. On all cheques bank logos will be printed with UV ink and these logos will be visible only under ultra-violet light. Moreover any corrections on the cheques will not be allowed.

Newgen systems in Mashreq bank & ADCB is not yet stabilised after 2 years. They tried to put a CTS over a document management system. As it goes you cannot put a square peg in a round hole.
