System evaluations and conversions are large undertakings; having an experienced advocate such as Next Step makes all the sense in the world.

It's Not Easy
A core system change is an enormous undertaking for any financial institution, requiring careful planning, countless tasks and constant oversight. While many of the banks and credit unions that decide to convert are some of the most sophisticated institutions in the country with capable staff, they often lack the necessary time to manage such large, complex projects. As a result, there tends to be an over-assumption that the technology vendor will take care of most of the work. Yet 65% to 70% of the conversion responsibilities fall squarely on the financial institution’s shoulders. Clearly, busy financial executives need an experienced resource in their corner.
