Samaha & Associates, a Miami-based provider of consulting, negotiation and project management services to the financial services industry, announced the completion of core processing conversions for four leading credit unions and the initiation of core processing conversions for three other prominent credit unions.
The four completed conversions were finished on-time and on-budget within the 9-to-12-month implementation timeline. All seven projects involved assisting credit unions with the search, evaluation, selection, negotiations and implementation of the core processing system. Most projects also included the analysis, replacement and upgrades in systems ranging from digital channels, payments, on-boarding, business analytics, and financial applications.
“Our customized core conversion process involves a comprehensive evaluation, aggressive vetting process of the vendors’ actual capabilities and a live simulation of the prospective solutions’ environment,” said Sabeh Samaha, president of Samaha & Associates. “Our processes for these conversions kept the credit unions in the driver’s seat when it comes to utilizing the best core system that met their needs for the long term.”
“Their proficiency in core and third-party systems, and in-depth project support, helped us ensure a smooth, successful transition for members,” said Roger Heacock, president and CEO of Black Hills Federal Credit Union, Rapid City, SD. “The personal service provided by Samaha team members went above and beyond what we expected, working closely with our team for long hours, and advocating on behalf of our members’ best interests.”
