Purchasing a core processing system or renewing a core contract is one of the biggest decisions you will make for your institution. Many community banks and credit unions lack the time or resources to identify the right core processor and negotiate a favorable contract. Abound Resources is uniquely qualified to guide you through making the right decisions regarding your core processor for your current and future needs.
Why choose Abound to help you with a Core Evaluation?
Experience
Abound has conducted over 400 technology vendor evaluations, from de novo banks to $25BB institutions. At the end of each project, Abound performs a "lessons learned" review. Your institution will have the benefit of this collective knowledge and experience gained from similar projects that Abound has successfully completed.
Vendor Neutral
Making a conscious decision when the company was founded to remain vendor neutral, Abound is truly independent from any potential vendor bias and assures each client that recommendations are based solely on what is right for your institution. Unlike many bank or credit union consulting firms, you won't see the same Abound select the same vendor over and over again.
Unique Approach
Abound will provide a proven process for selecting a core processing system and vendor through the RightTech™ Cycle methodology. Abound asks questions, listens, learns and works to build consensus which is key in core system selection. Without this even the best piece of software from the best core processing vendor will fail to deliver the expected benefits. But Abound likes to put their clients in control. You make the decisions. This approach is one of the reasons that every client Abound has conducted a core system selection project for in the past ten years is still on the same core account processor!
