Financial Fusion and DataHouse Implement Corporate Banking Solution 2.4 ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Financial Fusion, Inc., a Sybase company (NYSE:SY) announced that Financial Partners, Inc. (FPI) is reaping the benefits of enhanced capabilities and increased revenue with the implementation of Financial Fusion's Corporate Banking Solution. FPI has deployed Corporate Banking Solution 2.4 to support a wide range of Farm Credit organizations including their multiple, diverse market segments from smaller businesses to large corporate entities. The new solution was implemented in partnership with DataHouse, a Financial Fusion partner. This solution allows businesses to manage their accounts, access comprehensive information services, and perform full-service money movement functions including ACH and wire transfers all with an intuitive user interface. The Financial Partners implementation has to date included the conversion of more than 300 businesses off of a competitive product to Financial Fusion's Corporate Banking Solution. Financial Partners is part of the 85-year-old Farm Credit System, a $90- billion nationwide network of lending institutions and the largest single provider of credit to American agriculture and agribusiness. In order to expand its ASP service offering beyond its current consumer and small business focus, FPI needed a solution that offered a full range of capabilities from consumer to high-end corporate functionality. They decided to deploy Financial Fusion's Corporate Banking Suite (CBS) 2.4 because of its modern architecture and ability to support critical functions from a single platform allowing it to provision services according to customer needs. The robust application allows Financial Partners ASP clients to manage cash positions and process payments and transfers electronically via the Web. Entitled business users have the ability to view consolidated cash positions and quickly transfer funds. The new infrastructure also tracks user activity, increases the growth of fee-based income, and reduces management and customer service costs.
