–CU prepares for merger, chooses industry leader to facilitate seamless integration–

Vista, Calif.  April 19, 2011 Bluepoint Solutions, a 2010 CUNA Tech Council Best of Show winner, Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and provider of remote deposit capture, item processing and enterprise content management solutions for financial institutions, today announced that Georgia United Credit Union, headquartered in Duluth, Ga., selected a comprehensive content management and check capture and processing solution from Bluepoint Solutions to streamline operations and position the credit union for future growth.

Georgia United Credit Union is preparing to merge with State Employees Credit Union on April 30, 2011.  Once the merger is completed, Georgia United will operate 17 branches with over 106,000 members and approximately $850 million in assets. The credit union needed a content management system to unify disparate systems across both institutions.  In addition, Georgia United will implement an end-to-end check processing solution that will easily integrate with its existing infrastructure and accomodate future growth.

“Having a fully integrated solution from a single provider means our employees will gain substantial efficiencies from a system with greater ease-of-use, member-centric filing and robust enterprise content management features. Additionally, our members will benefit from the flexibility of a remote deposit capture solution,” said Warren Butler, president and CEO of Georgia United CU. “Combining Bluepoint’s end-to-end item processing suite, document management solution and remote capture points will enable a seamless integration across all branches throughout the merger with State Employees Credit Union and provides a clear path for future growth.”

The credit union selected Bluepoint’s enterprise content management suite, including Receipt Manager and Transaction Manager for enhanced transaction balancing and research. This system will automate the conversion of all documents from both credit unions, eliminating manual entry. Additionally, Georgia United will use Bluepoint’s end-to-end item processing suite including ImagePoint Foundation, a multi-endpoint image exchange engine, and teller, home, and mobile capture points, as well as a feature-rich archive. Bluepoint’s solution enables enterprise-wide access to all member information through FASTdocs, a member-centric content management application. The comprehensive solution positions Georgia United for success by boosting employee efficiency while improving member service.

“Georgia United will be experiencing substantial growth in the months to come and it is vital to the credit union’s operations to have a fully integrated system to maintain its high levels of member service. By automating its check capture, item processing, and document management operations, Georgia United will gain efficiencies at virtually every point in the organization,” said Hal Tilbury, CEO and founder of Bluepoint Solutions.

VISTA, Calif.-Improving a credit union’s document-management capabilities increases operating efficiency, reduces expenses, and bolsters the bottom line, shared Andrew Tilbury.

Savings, Tilbury said, not only come from lowering costs for lost items, but as staff sift through less paper they find documents faster and increase efficiency. Tilbury reminded that HR expenses are often one of the biggest budget line items, and that teller capture keeps teller stations in balance real time, eliminating a great deal of overtime.
