According to bank officials, to retrieve legacy information, employees spent an inordinate amount of time searching through vaults, CDs, optical media and old hardware. Additionally, system maintenance was expensive and reliability was questionable. A cost-effective way to combine all the acquired content into a single online system where employees could easily access information was very important.

By using Goldleaf’s conversion and migration services, First National Bank can maximize the usability of its information assets regardless or format or origin. Goldleaf’s data conversion service takes old information and transfers it to new high-density media, mitigating the risk of loss and liability from otherwise irretrievable customer data. All legacy content resides on a single server available only to designated personnel.

Lynn Boggs, CEO of Goldleaf Financial Solutions, said: Being able to access data from 11 legacy systems that did not communicate with each other is an arduous task. Today more and more financial institutions are finding themselves with non-integrating systems. Goldleaf always has its financial institution partners in mind when we develop solutions – we want to make their employees’s job easier so they can concentrate on what is most important to them – providing superior service to their customers.
