Software & Management Associates (SMA™) developer of OpCon™ IT automation and job scheduling solution is pleased to announce that they have been honored with a“Best in Show” award by the CUNA Technology Council at last week’s CUNA Technology Conference in San Antonio Texas.

Kathy Hooker Burress, SMA’s President and Will Pulley, Director of Client Relations at SMA presented “From Inefficient to Invincible”, a fast paced informative 6 minute skit and live demonstration to a packed house during CUNA’s inaugural Speed Round Sessions targeting “Focus on Financial Technology Innovation”

“We didn’t want to deliver a typical sales pitch to this tech savvy audience; we believed it was important to offer them valuable information, and we tossed in a little humor and humility to kick it up a bit.  We wanted to give our audience a small demo of what OpCon is capable of and we wanted them to enjoy the ride as well.  Apparently, we achieved our goal and we’re delighted.” comments Kathy Hooker Burress.

Jeff Johnson, newly elected Vice Chair of CUNA’s Technology Council Executive Committee and SVP of Information Technology at Baxter Credit Union Credit Union comments, “OpCon was selected ‘Best of Show’ because of its transformational impact in the back office. In a time when efficiency, consistency, and the expectation of 7x24 are drivers of success, OpCon delivers. OpCon should be considered by all credit unions that strive for operational excellence."

SMA’s OpCon X5 has gained a devoted client base within the credit union community. Currently, several members of CUNA’s Technology Council Executive Committee trust OpCon to automate the IT environment in their credit unions.
