Evaluating CU*Answers
Searching for a data processing partner can be a daunting task. For many credit unions, it may have been 5, 10 or even 15 years since the last time they performed such a search. And with dozens of core processing solutions to choose from, how does one go about searching out the unique features and benefits of one organization versus another?
Perhaps even more basic is determining how a credit union can quickly gain an understanding of the overall processing environment and decide what operational strategy best suits its style for performing business. How does one effectively compare ASP to in-house or possibly a third party? What new technologies and products are available? What unique product features and services separate one vendor from another? Who can provide staff the best ongoing support? How could staff benefit from education?
