Alliance Between Nexsan and Jack Henry & Associates
To integrate Assureon storage solution with ECM and check imaging platform
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on April 3, 2008 at 3:01 pmNexsan announced a strategic alliance and marketing agreement
with Jack Henry & Associates, Inc., a provider
of integrated computer systems for financial services organizations.
Based on terms of the agreement, Jack Henry & Associates integrated
the Nexsan Assureon secure storage solution with its Synergy
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform and its 4|sight check
imaging platform. Synergy is the modular ECM solution marketed to the
more than 1,700 banks supported by Jack Henry Banking and the
more than 650 credit unions supported by its Symitar division,
and sold outside its core client base through its ProfitStars
brand. 4|sight is the check imaging platform provided by Jack Henry
Banking.
Nexsan Assureon is a secure, intelligent archive storage solution
that combines advanced encryption with content addressed storage,
information lifecycle management (ILM) technology, and other
patent-pending security features into a single, fully integrated
disk-based storage solution. Assureon was designed from the ground up
specifically to address the long-term storage and management of fixed
content and compliance information, making it ideal for organizations
like financial institutions that want to continually improve business
practices and proactively comply with regulations being enforced by
numerous agencies.
This fully integrated ECM/Nexsan imaging solution is already in full
customer production. Alpine Bank of Glenwood Springs, Colo.,
recently implemented the integrated Synergy/Assureon solution to
support its expansion, increase data protection, and achieve higher
energy savings. This regional bank which has approximately $2 billion
in assets, 35 locations throughout Colorado, and more than 100,000
customers, stored more than two million document pages in the first
two months and has realized a 30 percent net storage savings.
According to Tony Wormington, president of Jack Henry & Associates,
"Our customers want sophisticated imaging solutions that require less
physical space, save power, maximize system availability, ensure data
protection, and operate in the event of a local emergency — all while
improving customer service and satisfaction. We believe the most
practical and efficient way to consistently provide state-of-the-art
imaging solutions is to align ourselves with innovative providers of
specific and proven add-on technologies such as Nexsan Assureon. We
partnered with Nexsan based on its ability to provide archive storage
solutions that combine the high-density storage capacity,
leading-edge security features, energy efficiency, and
price/performance our customers need."
Philip Black, Nexsan’s president and CEO, said the strategic alliance
and marketing agreement with Jack Henry & Associates marks the first
time Nexsan has aligned with a market-specific system integrator (SI).
"We are thrilled with our relationship with Jack Henry & Associates
and the opportunity it provides for us to move deeper into the
financial services industry. This industry is a primary target
market for Assureon, which was designed specifically for businesses
that demand reliable, long-term disk storage at affordable prices."
