Open Solutions Hosts Another Successful
Annual Client Conference
- Diverse client base unites
to discuss emerging trends,
share the company’s vision,
build relationships -
GLASTONBURY,
Conn., May 1, 2008 – Open Solutions
Inc.®, a leading provider of integrated enabling technologies
for financial services providers across the United States, Canada and
other international markets, recently hosted its 2008 Annual
Client Conference in Orlando, Fla., from April 5 – 9. The
conference attracted close to 1,600 financial services executives,
industry professionals and partners from throughout the world. More than
110 conference sponsors and exhibitors also participated in a Solutions
Expo, where attendees could learn about the latest products and services
Open Solutions offers as well as complementary technology products.
During the conference, clients and prospects attended presentations on
the latest industry, technology and business trends and company
initiatives and updates. Pre-conference training workshops provided
intensive training on key core system modules such as lending, deposit,
security, relational pricing as well as best practices. Workshops and
demonstrations of Open Solutions’ full product line were also part
of the conference agenda. The company also placed special emphasis on
showcasing the latest release of its popular relational core offering The
Complete Banking Solution: DNA / The Complete Credit Union Solution: DNA
for all attendees, which was recently launched in early March. Attendees
were able to attend the numerous knowledge workshops, demonstrations and
seminars scheduled throughout the four days on the DNA product.
Prior to the
opening day of the conference, Open Solutions Chairman and CEO Louis
Hernandez, Jr. hosted a pre-conference Senior Executive Forum (SEF)
designed specifically for C-level executives. During the SEF, attendees
heard from industry experts on the latest trends affecting the financial
market and discussed Open Solutions’ corporate direction and
product strategy.
“Open
Solutions’ conferences have exceptionally
depoliticized-environments,” said Juli Anne Callis, EVP and COO of
KeyPoint Credit Union. “Regardless of whether an attendee is from a
bank or a credit union, everyone comes together with software
commonalities and a shared interest to discuss emerging trends.
It’s truly refreshing to see everyone work together.”
“In
terms of content, Louis’ executive forum is a very important
segment of the conference,” continued Callis. “It is
important to our organization for Louis to cast his vision of Open Solutions’
future, and I look forward to his presentations every year.”
SEF attendees
were also provided the opportunity to exchange valuable feedback on how
Open Solutions and client organizations can work together more
effectively.
“Open Solutions does an exceptional job with its client
conferences,” said Mike Casella, vice president of Eagle Bank.
“Not only was the conference well organized and well managed, but
the company’s management team was visible throughout the entire
event. It’s very important to clients to shake hands and build
relationships with the company’s decision makers, and this
evidences Open Solutions’ commitment to its clientele.
Furthermore, the conference sessions were extremely informative. One in
particular was very beneficial to us because it showcased a product that
Eagle Bank is soon to install. By learning about another
institution’s experience, we were able to better prepare ourselves
for the future.”
According to
Open Solutions Chairman and CEO Louis Hernandez, Jr., “As the
financial services industry continues to change, the value of the annual
client conference continues to grow. This years’ conference was
designed to provide a vibrant forum for collaboration and a perfect venue
for our clients to interact with their colleagues from across the
financial services industry as well as our own Open Solutions’
team. This four-day event provided a wonderful opportunity for our
clients to learn more about Open Solutions, our products and services,
and our initiatives.”
“Each
year, our clients representing institutions of all kinds gather to
discuss common trends that affect the industry, and through our open
forums, we discuss business strategies related to those trends,”
Hernandez continued. “In addition, these conferences encourage
client feedback to enhance products and services. Open Solutions values
this insight as it helps us to continually enhance and round-out our
product and service offerings as well as reinforces our strong commitment
and desire to provide excellent service to our clients.”
The 2009 Open
Solutions Client Conference will be held in April 25-29, 2009, at Mandalay Bay
in Las Vegas, NV.
