GRAND RAPIDS, MI (September 4, 2013) -- Beta-testing for the new user interface for CU*BASE® GOLD core data processing platform was recently expanded and will soon include nearly 30 credit unions across the cuasterisk.com network. Board member credit unions from CU*Answers, Xtend, and CU*NorthWest will be participating the beta-test, which puts the new user interface onto all workstations across all of these credit union branches, for the most comprehensive test of its kind ever launched by the CUSO network. Several other credit unions have also volunteered as part of the beta group.
In anticipation of the official launch of the software (dubbed “ING” for the duration of the beta-test) in February 2014, the CUSO has already developed online video demos so employees can see the new look in action, and the invitation for other CUs to join the beta-test is open to all network participants.
“We are excited about the significant improvements in look-and-feel we’re introducing, but we know that the final arbiter is always those employees who are actually using the tools to do their daily work,” says Randy Karnes, CU*Answers CEO. “Market acceptance verification is as important as testing specific functionality, and a large-scale beta-test like this will give us some real insight into how these changes will benefit real users in the field.”
