DCI News -- Case Study

Bank of Clark County Finds Better Technology, Close Partner in Core Processor

The Challenge

Vancouver, Wash.-based Bank of Clark County has more than $278 million in assets at a single location after just six years in business.  The bank was quickly outgrowing its DOS-based bank management system.  In 2003, Bank of Clark County began looking for a Windows®-based core processing provider.  With a board and management composed of experienced bankers, the research team, which included Kim Capeloto, EVP and COO of Bank of Clark County, knew exactly what it wanted from a technology partner.

 

“Due to our experience, not always positive, with core processing technology in the past, we knew exactly what we wanted in software, its flexibility, growth potential and technical support,” said Capeloto.  “Once we decided to update our bank management system, we began looking extensively at 15 core processors not only at their headquarters, but also at customer banks to see the system in action.  After a year of due diligence, the decision was easy.”

 

The Solution

Bank of Clark County chose iCore as much for the technology as they did for DCI – the company – and its technical support dedication and expertise. iCore provides the bank with a complete and intuitive core processing system with workflow-adaptive management tools.  Because iCore is adaptable and scalable, the bank is assured that iCore will grow and expand with the needs of Bank of Clark County and its customers.  The DCI staff that supports iCore is considered by bank officials to be the most dedicated and loyal in the core processing industry, enabling alterations to the bank management system to work seamlessly.

 

“The flexibility of iCore and DCI’s ability to expand the system were the main reasons we chose to implement the core processing technology,” said Capeloto.  “We are confident that Bank of Clark County will not outgrow iCore, and that DCI will never take on a large company mentality when it comes to customer service and attention.”

 

The Result

Bank of Clark County took a unique approach during implementation.  Prior to the core processing conversion, all bank employees were assembled to review every account, every aspect of the system.  The conversion then occurred overnight.  The following day, Bank of Clark County employees again reviewed the entire system.  This comprehensive process resulted in an uncommonly smooth conversion, according to bank officials.

 

“The DCI staff, throughout product demonstrations, implementation and continued service, has been honest, sharp, receptive and responsive,” said Capeloto.  “Our conversion was the single most collaborative effort the bank has undertaken with a technology provider or any partner.”

 

Since moving to the Windows-based iCore software, Bank of Clark County has worked more effectively and efficiently, enabling its employees to better ways to serve customers.  Instead of being bogged down by cumbersome and inflexible systems, bank employees now have input into how the system can be adapted to best work for their needs.

 

“The ultimate return on investment (ROI) is continued flexibility that allows Bank of Clark County to enhance, at any time, its core processing system,” said Capeloto.  “By designing and delivering an easy-to-use bank management tool, DCI has helped me and my staff do a better job serving our customers.”
