ROCKY HILL, Conn.–DaLand CUSO said it has formed the CODE Council.
Short for Core Optimized Digital Experience, CODE is a “revolutionary technology framework developed by DaLand that emphasizes extending core platform functionality in lieu of bolting on expensive add-on products,” the organization said.
The CUSO said it formed the CODE Council to ensure its direction truly meets the needs of today’s “progressive credit unions.” Its first two members are the $1.1-billion Blue FCU in Cheyenne, Wyo., and the $454-million Nutmeg State Financial CU in Rocky Hill, Conn., which also owns DaLand CUSO.
“DaLand CUSO is committed to partnering with credit unions seeking relevance through adopting the core-centric philosophy, which integrates modern technology as a ‘core’ component of a credit union’s composite technology and strategic business plan,” said DaLand CUSO CEO Jeff Levesque in a statement. “The CODE Council spotlights our most dedicated partners – those committed to the transformative process of regaining control of their data and driving business from the core to improve member experiences, which will allow these leading and innovative credit unions to share the results of this strategic framework with the industry and demonstrate a relevant and sustainable posture for the modern community financial institution.”
Three More CUs Sought
According to Levesque, DaLand CUSO is seeking three more credit unions to join the CODE Council.
DaLand is comprised of three groups: professional services, which it said draws upon the CUSO’s vast technical and professional experience to manage complex projects, conversions, and mergers; vendor and platform strategies, which assists credit unions in strategically mapping out their technology partners and associated costs to create a sustainable long-term IT and operations blueprint; and the C.O.D.E. division, which develops core-optimized digital experiences and extends the capabilities of relevant cores for DaLand CUSO clients that employ such cores.
