Simple Workload Automation & Orchestration for Credit Unions

Today credit union operations are expected to be more complex to meet the evolving, customer centric needs of members. In-house tech departments are challenged to keep up with the growing demands of competing resources, stretching workloads and tiring out staff.

Driving Credit Union Operations Through Simplicity

To gain true efficiency, visibility and flexibility into your tedious credit union operations, you need to think beyond traditional job scheduling tools. Reaching operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, while also mitigating risk and providing 24/7 service is difficult. Consider how your organization can benefit from a comprehensive workload automation and orchestration tool that can be deployed fast. Imagine also having the safety net of white glove support and a client-first service team.

SMA Technologies created OpCon workload automation and orchestration platform to check all those needs. 

OpCon allows credit unions to easily automate manual tasks and simply orchestrate workloads across business-critical operations. This saves time and reduces costs by eliminating manual error. Effectively manage an increasing workload with fewer resources, so you're empowered to focus time and effort on serving your members’ needs. OpCon brings enterprise power and scalability to give you a single pane of glass over your entire IT environment. This means you can easily scale automation as your business needs grow.

Revolutionizing IT Operations for Credit Unions

Going well beyond the limited function of a traditional scheduler, modern workload automation and orchestration solutions are turbocharging credit union services by streamlining manual processes and unlocking teams to focus more time on customer experience and growth initiatives. With OpCon, credit unions of all asset sizes are seeing meaningful results:

  • One OpCon client improved efficiency using scalable workflows – growing the business by over 700% while only adding one employee.
  • After implementing OpCon, Veridian Credit Union got back over 1,000 staff hours per year.
  • A financial services firm with over 10,000 employees automated 80% of its manual processing, this enabled them to free up monitoring time for five operators covering 35 separate systems.
  • With OpCon, another financial services firm with 500+ employees reduced data processing times by 25-30% and were able to reassign four to five staff to higher-level strategic initiatives.
  • Plus, Vystar Credit Union automated 95% of their failover processing with OpCon, reducing failover time by 40%.

Automating a business process is like having your most reliable employee running it every time. With OpCon’s advanced workload automation and orchestration capabilities, your IT staff has the power to set it and forget it an infinite number of times. This frees them to focus on higher-level growth initiatives for your credit union. Just as importantly, automation significantly reduces errors from manual processes - saving countless hours spent QA-ing - or worse - cleaning up.
