Allied Solutions, in partnership with SundaySky, wins People’s Choice Award in CUNA’s 2023 speed rounds
CARMEL, IN (October 25, 2023) — Allied Solutions, in partnership with SundaySky, the leading platform for efficient video creation and personalization, is proud to announce its achievement of People’s Choice in CUNA’s (Credit Union National Association) Operations & Member Experience Council and Technology Council Conference Speed Rounds on October 5, 2023. The exceptionally popular Speed Rounds are fast-paced, high-impact product demonstrations showcasing state-of-the-art products to a large credit union, leader, and change-maker audience.
After undergoing a rigorous pre-selection process, twenty-two companies each presented a five-minute live and in-person Speed Round demonstration of their solution and faced two minutes of on-the-spot Q&A in front of a panel of judges. Winners were selected based on the judging panel ratings and audience feedback. The panel’s ratings were based on: Does your product/solution drive revenue, engagement, growth, efficiency, cost-efficiency, and the Q&A demonstration.
Ian Gold, SundaySky’s sales director of national accounts, and Charlie Peterson, Allied Solutions’ SVP Strategic Initiatives, demonstrated how to create an AI-generated video. Gold started with a basic prompt, asking the platform’s generative AI featured called Copilot to create a short video with a specified goal, tone, and message. The minute-long video that was created on-demand in front of the
live audience was complete with background music, text-to-speech voiceover narrations, on-screen text, and the specified message Gold asked Copilot to communicate.
Allied Solutions’ CEO, Pete Hilger, said, “For credit unions to capitalize on their market advantage, they must innovate. To innovate, they must focus on digital engagement.” Hilger adds, “Recognizing SundaySky’s value in enhancing CUs’ member loyalty and increasing usage of services offered through nimble, personalized digital video, Allied has made a significant commitment and investment in the tool. Not only are our clients able to tap into this state-of-the-art video technology due to our volume and cooperation, but Allied Solutions is a vigorous user of the platform in our own operations. We’re huge proponents of the tool, so are excited to see SundaySky + Copilot win this year’s People’s Choice award in the Speed Rounds.”
