By Megha Bhattacharya

Jack Henry & Associates‘ Symitar division has announced that the State Department Federal Credit Union (SDFCU) has moved its Episys core and entire IT infrastructure to Jack Henry’s private cloud environment. The migration is expected to allow the credit union to provide better service and be quicker to market with the solutions its members want and need as well as reduce IT-related operating costs.

Jay Luo, Director of Information Technology at SDFCU, said, “Our new hosted relationship with Jack Henry gives balance to our business. We can now prioritize new offerings or changes that bring real value to our members and broader community. And, we are enabling a stronger, more empowered remote workforce when we need it most.”

Shanon McLachlan, president of Symitar, said, “State Department Federal Credit Union is gaining a great deal of efficiency by relying on the Jack Henry private cloud for their core and IT infrastructure. Converting to a serverless environment takes the burden of disaster recovery, maintenance and recruiting IT personnel off the credit union; it provides an improved working environment for employees and allows them to focus on innovations that improve member service. This multi-billion credit union is an example of the benefits our private cloud can provide, regardless of an institution’s size.”
