This fall ESP’s development team has been working with IntelliTect, a local Microsoft training resource, to improve and modernize our development process. As the pace of development requests has increased as well as the complexity of those requests we have identified inefficiencies in our process. Primarily our focus is on the feedback loop when it comes to testing and how we branch the FORZA source code to ensure stability on releases.

Public Service Credit Union has successfully converted to the FORZA³™ core processing platform from Enhanced Software Products, Inc. (ESP).

The paperless credit union is not a myth; it's a reality. Credit unions have a lot to gain by going paperless. Not only can it save on costs, but it can also make the credit union more efficient and organized. Plus, members reap the benefit of greater access.

Your credit union's core banking provider is the backbone of your operations. Partnering with the best core processing platform for your credit union is imperative to running a thriving institution.

Knowing where to start when selecting a third-party vendor for your credit union can be challenging. These add-ons to your core processing platform can significantly affect the member experience of your credit union. There are many options available, and each one seems to offer something different. This guide will walk you through the process a credit union should undergo when making this critical decision.

Integrating a P2P network is an excellent way for the credit union to attract a younger demographic. Banking expectations have changed dramatically in the past decade: consumers want to make instant payments from their pocket. Credit unions that can adapt to meet this demand will thrive in the new economy.

Your success depends on your ability to serve your members. One way to accomplish this is to provide members with innovative products and services that meet their needs. Credit unions need a reliable core processor that can offer choices with third-party integrations.

Despite how hard the industry pushes paperless technology, many credit union members still value printed documents. These members may have been with the credit union for decades yet still balance their accounts monthly based on printed statements.

If your credit union is still using an older core banking processor, you may be operating in "maintenance mode." This means that your processor is no longer making substantial updates to their software, which could limit the types of products and services you're able to offer your members.

There are a lot of decisions to make when it comes to credit union systems; some of the most important are deciding which vendors to work with. In-house vendors and third-party vendors both have their own set of benefits, so how do you decide which is best for your credit union?

If you're like most credit unions, you're always looking for ways to improve the banking experience for your members. Third-party integrations can complement your core processing system and improve your staff and member experience.

Choosing the right core processor is a critical decision for any credit union. Before converting platforms, make sure they meet your standards for reliability and responsiveness.

A goal of any business should be to maintain any information their customers entrust to it securely. Customers can quickly lose faith if a data breach occurs and their private information is stolen.

In the Information Age, consumer confidence is a valuable commodity. If a data breach occurs, the customer will have to do considerable work to minimize their exposure to identity theft.
