BB&T Selects Carreker’s
Adjustments/Express™ to Image-Enable
Back Office
Automating the adjustments process with Carreker’s
solution allows BB&T to reduce costs by up to 40
percent
DALLAS, TEXAS (April 28,
2005) — Carreker Corporation
(Nasdaq: CANI), a leading provider
of technology and consulting solutions
for the financial industry, announced
today that BB&T Corporation (NYSE:BBT),
the ninth largest bank holding company
in the U.S., has licensed Carreker’s
Adjustments/Express™ to image-enable
the bank’s back office and
reduce adjustments costs by up to
40 percent.
Adjustments/Express™ is an
image-based, workflow enabled system
that automates the entire back-office
adjustments process. It allows operators
to scan information into the system,
retrieve both image and microfilm
items, and make entries from all
of the main sources of adjustments
cases, delivering a virtually paperless,
seamless environment. As a result,
the bank can improve productivity,
optimize workloads, reduce errors,
reduce float and other costs, speed
case resolution and improve customer
service.
“The adjustments process is
increasingly complex and costly for
banks, thanks to a variety of factors
including increased volume and number
of capture sites, more payment types,
and higher customer expectations,” said
John Carreker, president of Global
Payments Technology for Carreker. “By
automating the adjustments process,
Adjustments Express allows BB&T
to meet high customer expectations
by efficiently managing fluctuating
volumes in multiple payment environments – paper,
image, or electronic.”
“BB&T has established
itself as one of the clear leaders
in the transformation from paper
to imaged payments,” said J.D.
(Denny) Carreker, chairman and CEO,
Carreker. “Their selection
of Carreker’s Adjustments Express
marks another important commitment
toward fully image-enabling their
payments processing.”
