nFront presented award at BAI Retail Delivery '97
Athens, Ga., Dec. 10, 1997 - nFront, a leading provider of Internet banking solutions for community banks, received Microsoft's Retail Banking Industry Solution Award for Best Internet Banking Solution. Mike Dusche, Microsoft's worldwide financial services industry manager, made the announcement last week during the Bank Administration Institute's (BAI) Retail Delivery '97 Conference (RDC) in New Orleans.
The awards are designed to recognize independent software vendors who best use Microsoft technology to provide tangible business benefits for banks by creating innovative, line-of-business applications. nFront's Internet banking solution, nHome™, was selected from a nationwide evaluation of companies providing Internet banking solutions as a finalist for the Industry Solution Award under the Best Internet Banking Solution category. This category rewards the best application showing potential productivity gains and cost reductions derived from using the Internet as a delivery channel.
"nFront is a great example of a company that is leveraging Microsoft's Windows NT and SQL Server as building blocks for the core of an extremely progressive Internet banking application," said Dusche. "I'm pleased that an independent panel judged them best of show at RDC, reinforcing what their bank customers have already discovered: that nHome is a great way to effectively reach desirable online customers."
"Winning the Microsoft Industry Solution Award for Internet banking is a great testament to nFront as a company," said Tripp Rackley, president of nFront. "We have always been 100% committed to Microsoft and utilizing the tools and partnership to deliver a complete Microsoft® Windows NT® Server-based Internet banking system.
"nFront's focus is not only on utilizing the latest technology available, but also providing software solutions that community banks can actually use today. We strongly believe that the winners in Internet banking will be financial institutions that are ready to be leaders. Our focus on the Microsoft relationship along with a very dedicated, bright and focused group of individuals on the nFront team has enabled banks across the country to have a 100% Microsoft® Windows NT® Server-based Internet banking system today."
An independent panel of judges from the financial services industry selected finalists during the Retail Delivery conference in three categories: Best Retail Branch Banking Solution, Best Internet Banking Solution and Best Banking by Phone Solution. The panel included industry experts, including Bill Bradway, analyst at Meridien Research; Nancy Davis, publisher of Microbanker; John Geyer, analyst at the Gartner Group; and Jim Pavia, managing editor of Bank Systems & Technology.
