Symitar Adds 20 Credit Unions to Client Roster in Six Months

MONETT, Mo., Feb. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq: JKHY), a leading provider of computer systems and electronic payment solutions primarily for financial services organizations, today announced that its Symitar™ division, which provides core data processing and other technology solutions to U.S. credit unions of all sizes, added 20 credit unions to its client roster between July 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010. These credit unions elected to replace competitive platforms with Symitar's Episys® or CruiseNet™ core systems. Episys is the highly customizable IBM® Power™ System-based core solution already automating many of the nation's largest credit unions and CruiseNet is the Windows®-based, .NET-based core processing platform designed specifically for small to mid-size credit unions. Ten of Symitar's new signings will implement the Episys system and ten will implement CruiseNet.

Colorado-based Elevations Credit Union is among the institutions that will implement Episys. With nearly $1 billion in assets and more than 85,000 members, Elevations Credit Union has entrusted Symitar to aid its efforts to provide every employee with the tools he or she needs to serve its tech-savvy membership base efficiently and effectively.

According to Gerry Agnes, CEO of Elevations Credit Union, "Our employees will enjoy a comprehensive, integrated system that will ultimately help them to better serve our members. We are also looking forward to deploying Symitar's member business features, as member business services are critical to the credit union's future success. In addition to deploying the state-of-the-industry technology that Symitar offers, we are thrilled to align with a company that shares our core values."

Ted Bilke, president of Symitar, said, "It's extremely rewarding that even during a period of economic recovery, Symitar continues to increase our market share by replacing competitors' systems and long-time technology partnerships. We're very pleased to have Elevations Credit Union as one of the newest members of the Symitar family. We believe it's a real challenge for credit unions to find a data processing partner that can deliver on the dual promises of great technology and great service. It's long been a credo at Symitar that a good product without good service is not good business and we live by that every day. The diversity of our 20 newest credit union clients also demonstrates the industry-wide appeal and flexibility of our technology platforms."
