First Bank Kansas installed DCI’s Proof21, a check capture solution at the teller line that eliminates the handling and proofing of paper checks in the back office.

Check 21: Analyzing the Benefits of Check Image Exchange
-ATM Marketplace February 23, 2006; page 1

Every bank is unique in how a new technology is chosen, integrated and success measured – most benefits realized and measured in day-to-day operations.

Plugging into a Simpler Core
-ABA Banking Journal April 1, 2006; page 38-44

In ABA Banking Journal’s annual look at core processing, editor Lauren Bielski investigates plugging into a simpler core system – an idea that has been talked about for years, but not widely adopted. 

John Jones , president and CEO of DCI, is forward leaning about both business process design and the use of newer, outsourced bank management systems.

The Cost of Compliance
-Western Banking April 1, 2006; page 32

While the cost of compliance may be daunting, the cost of non-compliance is undoubtedly much higher. When a bank comes under fire and enforcement action by federal regulators, expensive programs are required to be implemented immediately and new officers hired to meet government conditions. With the worst-case scenario outlined, how does your bank avoid regulator scrutiny and the hefty burden of compliance maintenance and cost?

ATM: The New Bank Branch?
-Bank News September 1, 2006; pages 30-31

Today, the function and purpose of automated teller machines has evolved beyond simple withdrawals and deposits, pushing more services to customers who prefer little, if any, contact with a physical bank location. Furthermore, ATMs are also now used to reach non-bank customers, generate interchange fee revenue and reduce the cost of routine transactions for the bank.

Financial Self-Service and the Automation Revolution
-ATM Marketplace March 31, 2007; page 21

In an investigation of financial services and the automation revolution by ATM Marketplace, editor Tracy Kitten considers the branch, once a cost center, a vital customer hub – a focal point of the banking experience. 

Kitten and DCI experts attribute this trend to the use of innovative technology at the branch, especially the de novo branch. “Niche players – like de novos – are thinking along innovative lines to meet consumer needs.”

Why this Core Solution?
-ABA Banking Journal April 1, 2007; pages 42-50

ABA Banking Journal took a unique approach to its annual core process issue by featuring a number of case studies from banks using various bank management systems. 

Colorado Capital Bank (Castle Rock, Colo. ) needed a flexible system and chose DCI’s iCore in 2004. With iCore, Blume does not have to worry about integration issues and can focus his efforts on tailoring the system, adding additional features when and where needed.
