Recognizing how important it is for credit unions to understand the capabilities and versatility of Symitar’s® Episys® core processing platform, Synergent is pleased to announce the launch of a new service that will help credit unions gain short- and long-term efficiencies. Through core consulting, credit unions can now leverage Synergent’s team of Episys subject-matter experts to enhance operations, increase loan growth, and drive profitability.
“Synergent developed our core consulting offering to help credit unions maximize the benefits that Symitar’s powerful Episys core processing platform delivers,” said Ben Jordan, Senior Vice President of IT at Synergent. “With four different types of consultations to choose from, credit unions can select an approach that best fits their needs.”
Core consulting is only being offered to credit unions who partner with Synergent for their Symitar Episys core processing. Consultation options include:
- Efficiency Consult: This review focuses on ensuring the credit union is using their existing core products and services as efficiently as possible. No additional or new implementations will occur as an outcome.
- Targeted Consult: This review is an 8 to 16-hour examination of a specific focus area, such as collections, lending, application processing, or technology adoption. This may include extra guidance and project management for single product deployments. The process will culminate with an actionable, systematic change that takes place on a “Go Live” date.
- Deep Dive Consult: This review is like the Targeted Consult but may provide extra guidance and project management for single product deployments. The Deep Dive Consult is intended to present actionable, systematic change with suggestions for the credit union to consider, as well as configuration to extract the greatest value possible for a specific area. It is a more intensive process, typically taking 16+ hours to complete.
- New Product Consult: This review is led by a Synergent Account Relationship Manager and involves assessing and recommending new products for credit unions to adopt to increase year-over year growth and improve internal and external service. FOR MOR
