CU*Answers to Focus on Foundation Projects for its Future

CU*Answers, the West Michigan-based core data processor, recently announced that it has officially launched its FEP/ING project meant to set the foundation for future development of its core platform CU*BASE®. Short for “File Expansion Project / Improved New GOLD,” the project will set the stage by updating elements of the core software to expand, reorganize, and standardize the programming. Additionally, CU*Answers indicated that the changes would also bring a new and improved look to their CU*BASE platform that existing clients are already excited to see.

When introduced at the CUSO’s annual Leadership Conference last June, Randy Karnes, CEO, described the project as, “proving we have the chops to take on a project of this magnitude, whenever we need to.” The project will not only allow new business opportunities for credit unions, but also exemplify the confidence the network has to tackle anything credit unions and their members will need in the future.

CU*Answers concluded by stating that this would be a major news story for its network, and that progress reports will be sent to all existing clients with updates also posted on their website.
