II• (.?,?vwdew of Midwest Faciitv The EPS headquarters in Wilmington will house corporate finance, mazketing, and administrative functions. Additionally, the Vyilmington site will include a large dam processing center which will handle all East coast ATM business. The State of Delaware is providing assistance in the development of the infrastructure to support this center. Green Machine Corporation is malong a strong bid to EPS for the Midwest Processing ce.nter by offering its curnent facility in North Olmsted. 1fie facility will house functions similar to those planned in Delaware and will be designed to support the Midwest market, The offer would include the immediate expansion of this facility from 12,000 square feet to approximately 28,000 squane feet. Included in this expansion will be a fiill-scale data processing centez. This center, which will initially house $S million to $6 million in data prooessing ecluiPment, will provide data processing seavices to all EPS partnGrs and their clients west of Pennsylvania. This includes the 200 clients of Green Ma,chine and their 1,400 ATMs, the 230 members of the OWL Network in Cincinnati and theu. 825 A1'Ms, and Banc One's :,300 ATMs located in Ohio westward to Colorado, Teaas and Arizona. ? Three cnacal infiastructure factors have been identified by EPS as part of the selection criteria for a midwest facility. The {ust is adequate space in a convenient location. Green Machine's North Olmsted facilitjr meets this need by providing cunent and future expansion options in a location conve.nient to interstates and airports. The second criteria is high capacity, reliable data communications services. Ameritech Information Systems and their Ohio Bell subsidiary have proposed a fiberoptic network for the Ohio Bell Central office currendy servicing the Green Machine facility. A Fiber Ring Network has been pianned for this area, and the second quarter 1993 completion date meets the needs of EPS. The third infrastructure need is for a reliable, redundant power supply for the facility. The ATM network is designed to be available 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Intemaptions of any ldnd are not acceptable from a customer service standpoint. EPS has specified the facility must have dual redundant power feeds in addition to the supply cuirently in the building. Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company has provided a proposal on how they can provide this level of service.
