Wescom Resources Group Releases New Cost-Saving Efficiency Tools

7/29/2009

Wescom Resources Group, a provider of technology solutions for credit unions, today announced the availability of its Programming Toolbox, a new line of products designed to reduce costs and improve efficiency for credit unions. The products are available to credit unions of all sizes that use Symitar’s Episys® host processing system. The Toolbox products can be purchased individually or as part of a discounted package.
 
There are currently four products in the first generation of Programming Toolbox solutions. They include:
·         Automated Hold Decisioning -- a rules-driven engine that proactively sets a check deposit hold base on each member account.
·         eNotices – a Windows-driven application to easily create electronic versions of notices, significantly reducing costs of postage and 3rd party notice preparation and delivery.
·         Goodnight Optimizer – a utility that locates errors in goodnight jobs and verifies that they are coded correctly.
·         System Report Bundle -- a bundle of 20 commonly needed host system reports, covering such areas as General Ledger, teller activity, collections, and more.
 
John Best, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Wescom Resources Group, discussed the marketplace needs which led to creation of the Programming Toolbox: “In today’s economy, credit unions are really searching for any way to reduce operating costs without compromising member service. Our Programming Toolbox products are easy to deploy, and can provide immediate benefits in hard dollar cost savings or reduced workload.”
 
The Toolbox products are already in use at Wescom Credit Union. “Since deploying our eNotices product in early July, Wescom has already started to save about $5,000 per week in lower printing and postage costs” notes Best. “We believe this product will be a huge winner for credit unions in their effort to control expenses.”
 
Interested credit unions can obtain more information contacting us at wrgsales@wescom.org. WRG is sponsoring the “Creative Solutions” contest offered by Symitar at its coming Virtual Educational Conference. A Programming Toolbox product will be awarded to the winning entry.
