$1.2 Billion Abington Bank Upgrades to Open Solutions' Enterprise-Wide Relational Data Processing Platform
GLASTONBURY, Conn. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Abington Bank, headquartered in Jenkintown, Pa., announced its selection
of Open
Solutions Inc. latest core release, DNA (formerly The
Complete Banking Solution: DNA). Open Solutions is a
leading provider of integrated enabling technologies for financial
service providers throughout the United States, Canada and international
markets. Currently running Open Solutions' TotalPlus
processing platform, the Bank will upgrade to better meet its current
and future needs.
For more than 140 years, Abington Bank has served the banking needs of
suburban Philadelphia. The Bank has more than 65,000 accounts, 20
locations and $1.2 billion in assets. The Bank has been an Open
Solutions' client since 1993 and most recently made the decision to
convert to Open Solutions' latest release, DNA.
Vice President, Information Systems for Abington Bank, Anna Bennett,
said, "We have been very satisfied with the service and support we have
received from Open Solutions. As the Bank continues to grow and expand,
we outgrew our current platform. We knew we needed to migrate to a more
sophisticated platform. We determined the DNA platform was the best
solution for the Bank. In addition to its ease of use, the solution will
integrate three different legacy systems into one, easy-to-navigate
platform. This will significantly streamline our operations and drive
efficiency in our processes. Additionally, the customer-centric nature
of the system will help us better serve our customers."
Enhanced by Open Solutions' advanced open platform and using .NET
technology, DNA capitalizes on the strength of Open Solutions' unique
universal data model and design and its client-centric processes, while
greatly enhancing workflow, flexibility, navigation and productivity.
Built on a powerful, centralized Oracle relational database,
the solution provides the flexibility necessary for running a
service-oriented financial institution. Available as an in-house or
outsourced solution, it helps banks streamline both front- and
back-office processes and creates a centralized view of customers,
employees and business partners.
In addition to DNA, Abington Bank also purchased Open Solutions'
financial accounting suite, cView (CRM/business intelligence) and
conversion best practices, an offering from Open Solutions' Professional
Services in which a team of consultants identify opportunities for
Abington Bank to change processes in order to maximize the capabilities
of DNA.
"We know banks have many options in the market in terms of their
preferred technology provider," said Louis Hernandez, Jr., chairman and
CEO of Open Solutions. "We are proud of the work we've done with
Abington to date and look forward to the next chapter as the Bank
migrates to our latest core release, DNA. The Bank's choice to continue
to work with Open Solutions is further testament of the value we deliver
and the unique offering we provide. We understand the challenges facing
financial institutions in today's market and we have developed
sophisticated solutions designed to address and solve those business
hurdles."
