A Sunrise, But No Sunset Planned

SAN DIEGO - By the Autumn of 2009 Harland Financial Solutions will be offering credit union customers using its UltraData Enterprise solution another choice based on a core platform it currently offers to bank clients and which will also be updated for release at that same time. But Raj Shivdasani, president of Harland’s Enterprise Solutions Group, stressed that the company has no plans to sunset the UltraData Enterprise solution; indeed, he anticipates many of the more than 400 credit unions now on the system will opt to remain there. For others, however, the company is developing its PhoenixEFE (Extended Financial Enterprise) solution for credit unions as part of a broader move to platforms based on Microsoft’s .net technology. Shivdasani acknowledged CUs that move to Phoenix will undergo the equivalent of a core conversion, but said the benefits presented by .net, including a single sign-on, greater integration, the ability of non-Harland solutions to essentially converse with each other through Phoenix’s XML architecture, other free tools Microsoft makes available, and more will have great appeal.
