ProfitStars, a division of Jack Henry & Associates Inc., has announced the launch of Sierra Xpedite Branch 7.0, the latest release of its Sierra Xpedite branch image capture platform. The solution was developed by Goldleaf Financial Solutions Inc., Jack Henry & Associates' recent acquisition and the latest addition to its ProfitStars division.
According to a news release from ProfitStars, Sierra Xpedite Branch 7.0, which comprises Sierra Xpedite Front Counter and Sierra Xpedite Back Counter, provides financial institutions with the ability to better manage workloads across branch front counter, branch back counter, and regional-processing-center applications. Sierra Xpedite Branch 7.0 enables FIs to more efficiently process large commercial deposits by enabling them to defer transaction processing from the teller line to branch back counter workstations as well as regional processing center. Sierra Xpedite Back Counter also includes a new suspend batch feature that enables users to capture check images on one workstation and hold the batch for further processing by another operator at a different workstation.
The back counter application was completely redesigned using Microsoft's .Net platform and mirrors the familiar behavior, look, and feel of Microsoft Office 2007.
"By enhancing the functional capabilities of our recently acquired branch image capture platform, we provide a broader range of opportunities for financial institutions to streamline transaction processing, improve customer service, and reduce operating costs," said David Foss, president of ProfitStars. "The ability to combine Sierra Xpedite Front Counter at the teller line with Sierra Xpedite Back Counter in both branch and regional processing centers enables banks to optimize image capture across the enterprise while avoiding the expense and transportation costs associated with paper-based processing and large central processing centers."
