InterBank Partners with Systems Consulting Group for IT Roadmap and Next-Generation Technology Infrastructure
Successful Community Banking Innovator Looks to the Future by Tapping SCG's IT Planning and Financial Services Industry Expertise
ST. PAUL, MINN, July 16, 2007—Systems Consulting Group (SCG), a leading business process and technology consulting firm, today announced that InterBank, a rapidly growing Minnesota-based community bank with nearly $1 billion in assets under management, has selected SCG to lead an array of strategic IT services for the company. SCG's deep expertise in the financial services sector and highly experienced consulting staff were key factors in InterBank's vendor selection.
InterBank was experiencing unprecedented success but felt their growth warranted a thorough review of their IT strategy and infrastructure. The company engaged SCG to conduct a comprehensive IT and network audit, and prepare InterBank's long-term strategic IT roadmap. Since that time, SCG personnel have served as interim CIO and led the design, development, and implementation of several key initiatives, including a new state-of-the-art network infrastructure, new HR systems, and more.
"In order to continue efficiently serving our diverse customer needs and be positioned for future growth, we thought it prudent to step back and gain a clear, unbiased perspective on our future IT strategy, but we needed highly credible experts in the financial services industry," said John Fletcher, vice-president of operations for InterBank. "SCG has delivered, with technical and industry experts who understand the regulatory issues and our complex requirements for security, redundancy, scalability, networking, IT systems, and much more."
"It's rewarding to know that our organization has played such a pivotal and strategic role in ensuring the future success of InterBank," said Dan Grady, CEO for SCG. "We have helped architect the future growth strategy for this community banking leader, and our staff is providing day-to-day technology guidance as our partnership continues to evolve. We look forward to continuing to help InterBank plan and build for the future."
