MADISON, Wis., March 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CUNA Mutual
AdvantEdge Analytics announced today it will work with Microsoft to
develop the next generation data platform for the credit union
industry. The collaboration will not only create a standardized
cloud-based platform for the industry, it will also enable credit
unions to benefit from the scalability of leading technology and
integration essential to a data analytics strategy.
"Working with Microsoft is a major step in our continued
commitment to delivering innovation to the credit union industry
and strengthening for the future," said Robert N. Trunzo, president and CEO, CUNA Mutual
Group. "We are not only addressing the changing financial needs of
credit unions and their members, we are leading the way by
collaborating with one of the world's most innovative companies.
This is an exciting time for our industry."
The new data platform will deliver deeper insights into a credit
union's business data through Power BI and translate these insights
into action through Dynamics 365 and other digital transformation
tools like Power Apps and Microsoft Flow. It will further enable
the AdvantEdge Analytics data platform, independent software
vendors (ISV's), partners and third parties to expand data models,
accelerating the possibilities for digital transformation for
credit unions.
James Phillips, Corporate Vice
President, Microsoft Business Applications Group said, "We are
excited to work with CUNA Mutual Group, combining their extensive
financial services expertise with Microsoft's expertise in business
applications and analytics. AdvantEdge Analytics provides
compelling value to credit unions through their industry-focused
application on top of Microsoft's Common Data Model."
"Together, our companies will significantly advance the
industry's data analytics capabilities to a new level, creating an
industry-leading platform that will best position credit unions to
improve the member experience, enable growth and compete more
effectively with larger financial institutions and fintechs," said
Tim Peterson, president AdvantEdge
Analytics. "Combining Microsoft's technology leadership and CUNA
Mutual Group's long-standing experience working with credit unions,
together we will exponentially expand the industry's ability to
capture the full value of data analytics to meet and exceed the
