The 13th annual executive seminar of Precision Computer Systems (PCS) was held last month (June 3-4) at the Sheraton Sioux Falls Hotel in South Dakota..
The seminar kicked off Monday (June 3) with a welcome and update by Bruce Christensen, president of PCS, and Olympic champion John Naber as the featured speaker.
Following the opening speakers five breakout sessions were offered with topics including PCS product updates and new releases for 2002, as well as presentations by business partners of PCS, a leading provider of bank technology and data processing solutions headquartered in Sioux Falls.
Naber, besides being an Olympic champion, is a successful businessman, TV sports announcer and motivational speaker. He drew from his experience as an Olympic champion and being around Olympic champions to explain that they approach life's hurdles as "how can I," not "how am I" going to accomplish this. He said that one must have eight key ingredients to have a gold medal performance: "dream/vision; attitude/commitment; goal/objective; plan/schedule; short term steps to the goal; hard work; will power; and performance under pressure."
One of two products highlighted by PCS was the CRM-Campaign Manager to be released in early June. The system has the availability of cross-channel delivery through this newest module. Banks using the PCS Vision core processing solution will have the ability to deploy targeted information or messages across six delivery channels or points of customer contact.
The PCS Campaign Manger module is built in the same platform as the core software, giving tight integration that allows for real-time campaign updates.
The second product highlighted was the new PCS deposit platform solution. With the deposit platform, existing customer information fields will be populated from the core system. When opening new accounts, customer service representatives will only have to enter information once. After the information is entered, forms can be printed and the account can be marked ready for upload. Validation is included to make sure all necessary information has been captured prior to printing or uploading. The completed accounts can then be transferred to the Vision system throughout the day. PCS has partnered with Compliance Systems Inc. to provide the deposit forms and Bisys Retirement Systems for the IRA forms.
This year's PCS executive seminar drew a record turnout of 167 executives representing 122 banks.
