Hyland Software And BISYS Form Strategic Business Alliance

Hyland Software, Inc., developer of the OnBase enterprise content management (ECM) software suite, and BISYS, a leading provider of outsourcing solutions for the financial services sector, today announced the formation of a strategic alliance, positioning OnBase as one of BISYS' preferred enterprise content management solutions.

OnBase helps BISYS client banks run more efficiently by electronically capturing, storing and managing documents, including application files, reports, forms and statements. Its integration with BISYS' core processing systems, loan origination systems and CRM solutions provides further operational benefits and allows financial institutions to electronically share critical information across the enterprise.

According to Robert Hunt, senior analyst at TowerGroup, a leading research and advisory firm, "Core processing outsourcers have continued to grow revenues by providing new value-added services to their client base. Although these outsourcers can choose to develop new services in-house, they recognize that offering best-of-breed products increases the value proposition for clients and solidifies the client-vendor relationship."

"Our alliance with BISYS helps its clients streamline processes, reduce costs and improve customer service levels," said Brenda Kirk, Financial Services Industry director at Hyland Software. "Replacing manual elements with automated retrieval, viewing and the ability to cross-reference documents results in increased cost savings while allowing employees to focus their energies on the customer, which is critical in today's competitive financial services environment."

Bill Neville, president of BISYS Information Services, said, "At BISYS, we selectively integrate new technologies that add value to our core platform and help our clients run their businesses more efficiently. Hyland's OnBase solution encompasses more than 60 modules that allow specific input, management, and output capabilities. This flexibility enables our clients to create customized solutions and expand functionality based on their individual growth needs. Many BISYS clients are embracing this solution. Virginia Savings Bank recently purchased the OnBase solution and Ohio-based Peoples Community Bank has completed the implementation of the solution. We are excited about the opportunities the OnBase solution affords our clients and expect continued success from our business relationship with Hyland Software."
