Acquisition Adds Internet/Mobile/Voice Banking Solutions to DCI Core Software Suite
HUTCHINSON, Kan., Oct. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Data Center Inc. (DCI), the privately owned developer of the iCore360® core banking software and related technologies, announced today their acquisition of the TeleWeb suite of Internet and mobile banking software products from the ProfitStars® division of Jack Henry & Associates in Allen, Texas. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The acquisition is one of the company's most significant, and follows a similar acquisition a year earlier, continuing a major strategic growth expansion for DCI in the bank technology industry.
Specifically, the acquisition opens the door for DCI to directly offer competitive Internet and mobile banking solutions to community financial institutions in addition to the company's award-winning iCore360® core software already being used by hundreds of banks nationwide.
DCI will continue to support the acquired product lines with a focus on accelerating their enhancement to match the company's flagship iCore360® software, and offer them as either an embedded feature option for iCore360®, or as a competitive stand-alone solution for banks using competing core banking systems.
"We see opportunity in offering community banks more options in the online and mobile banking market, so this is a perfect fit for DCI and our customers," says John Jones, DCI President and CEO. "Bringing these products into the DCI family lets us enhance them to directly offer a high-value Internet and mobile solution that is backed by DCI and our 51-year reputation for quality and personal support in core banking."
DCI also acquired the TeleBank voice banking solution, plus nearly 360 clients and the related technical, development, support and management staff that will operate from DCI's newest location in Dallas, Texas. DCI will continue to provide the high level of customer service that existing customers are expecting to receive.
"We're happy to see these [TeleWeb] products joining the DCI family," said current user Keith Jones, president at Angelina Savings Bank in Lufkin, Texas. "DCI has an impressive record of stability and innovation, and great customer relationships. Their collaborative bank leadership, staff and user groups will ensure a bright future for these products and the clients that use them."
DCI's acquisition of these specific products and customer relationships does not affect other ProfitStars products, services or clients.
