CUSOs reach half-way point in core conversion projects

CU*Answers, the cooperative CUSO headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, reported that it has surpassed the half-way point on nearly three dozen core data processing conversions for its partners at CUaxis, a core technology distributor that is the wholly owned subsidiary of Vizo Corporate Federal Credit Union. The core conversion projects kicked off in October 2020, with the final project slated for spring of 2022. Teams from both CU*Answers and CUaxis have combined efforts to onboard each credit union successfully to the CU*Answers CU*BASE suite.

Scott Collins, Executive Vice President of National Sales and Marketplace Relationships said, “When we first started laying out a series of projects that would move nearly three dozen credit unions from the AMIS core, most of which had been using the system for a long period of time, we knew that it would require a coordinated effort with our partners at CUaxis. Their team stepped to the plate with some very talented resources, and our team has done a masterful job of incorporating the AMIS projects into our already busy calendar of core conversion projects during our 2021 fiscal year that will be ending this week. It has certainly been a busy year for our collective teams, but I am very proud of the effort and very excited about working to support CUaxis business plans for many years to come.”

Collins noted that collective teams had completed a total of twenty-one AMIS-to-CU*BASE conversions in the past eleven months, with more than a dozen remaining. “We are very pleased that CUaxis and CU*Answers have helped pave the way for this great group of credit unions to both survive and thrive,” added Collins.
