RIDGECREST, Calif.–AltaOne FCU here has selected Symitar as its new core processor. In a statement, the $617-million AltaOne said it chose Symitar, a unit of Jack Henry & Associates, in order to keep pace with its own growth goals, efficiency requirements and product delivery timeline.
AltaOne identified Symitar’s Episys as the system best suited to support it in these areas. “Episys easily integrates with third-party systems and offers progressive credit unions the ability to tailor the system to their unique needs, which will enable AltaOne to discover untapped efficiencies and continue diversifying its member-facing offerings at a competitive rate,” the company said.
Robert M. Boland, president and CEO for AltaOne, said, “Our existing core system is aging and unable to keep pace with the direction our credit union is going. We see how Symitar itself is growing, always innovating and caring for its credit unions. We are comfortable going into this conversion and confident that we have found a strategic relationship that will not only provide the solutions and service we need in the short term, but deliver a sophisticated, flexible core experience well into the future. Symitar has a history of delivering on its commitments.”
Boland noted that the AltaOne team is excited about Symitar’s technology roadmap, including its transition to a truly relational database. The credit union also understands that with Episys, it gains the ability to select the best of third-party systems and implement them in a completely integrated environment. Boland added that, “Episys will help us capitalize on opportunities that we know are being missed. And, our IT team will get to stretch its legs and execute new projects at a level that’s expected for our credit union.”
