GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.—CU*Answers has begun a beta-test on a new suite of budget calculation and analysis tools, integrated into the CU*BASE core processing system. The totally redesigned software has been in development for more than a year and additional enhancements are already on the drawing board for the next phases to be released later in 2015, the company said.
“What’s unique about this project is the amount of direct client involvement in the testing process,” said Keegan Daniel, Professional Services Manager, who is coordinating the beta project. Participating in the beta are two Michigan credit unions who have been heavily involved in the Accounting Top 10 development focus group over the past several years, Frankenmuth CU in Frankenmuth and Service 1 FCU in Muskegon. “We are paying a CollabRebate payment of $2,500 to each credit union to undergo an intensive ‘Budget Boot Camp’ process with us. No matter what testing we do in-house, there’s nothing like putting the software through its paces in the field in a live credit union environment.” For info: www.cuanswers.com.
