Retain the Value of Legacy Products :
Financial institutions (FI) who years ago invested in on-site check production systems from various manufacturers, tell us they like the product and would prefer to keep it operational and local. Case in point is a bank we spoke with recently who was reaching out for help on an unsupported 13-year-old system.
We see the need for reliable sustained support for these legacy systems as an opportunity for MICR Prime Services, Inc. (MPSI) to showcase our extensive history in web-enabled services, enterprise MICR Document desk top production, and electro-mechanical paper handling design, engineering, and technical support.
Naturally, troubleshooting and updating an older system takes detective work and will carry some expense. That is why we always submit a detailed quote for our Canopy services including an ETA for completion. While reviewing the legacy system, a FI may see the rationale for exploring an economic alternative in an upgrade migration strategy with the MPSI offerings. Again, we stand ready and able to assist.
CANOPY Overview:
The dictionary definition of a CANOPY is: “a high cover overarching an open space”. MPSI chose the name CANOPY to define its Managed Support Services Program (MSSP) as the technical “cover” for legacy systems.
CANOPY is the safety net and “Help Desk” support program you need to
maintain your reputation for quality service - uninterrupted.
FIs come to depend on their on-site check production systems go provide quality customer service. So they resent being forced to backtrack to the old slow USPS high priced delivery methods. Even further, going back using to off-site check service contractors impacts the FI's hard-earned banking relationship with the up-scale check user clients. There is one less reason to visit the lobby - seriously impacting the marketing efforts.
Below is a brief description of CANOPY Services for the US.
