If the future of banking is mobile, shouldn’t more banks and credit unions get on board with the mobile revolution?

A new deal between Jack Henry & Associates, a provider of technology solutions and payment processing services, and CDW will make Microsoft Surface Pro 3 tablets available for purchase by financial services organizations, according to an official announcement by Jack Henry.

The advantage of a Surface over other tablets is that it can work as a mobile device but also has the heft and might to serve as a notebook computer.

Mark Forbis, chief technology officer at Jack Henry & Associates, elaborated on the strategic shift that this new partnership among CDW, Microsoft and his firm offers to financial services providers.
