Clients Benefit from IBT, SFS Partnership
--Partnership allows expansion of existing technological synergy—

Cedar Park, TX (March 1, 2010) – Integrated Bank Technology (IBT), a company that specializes in imaging software applications and a comprehensive integrated suite of products for financial institutions, announced that it has formed a strategic partnership with Georgia’s Southern Financial Systems (SFS) a provider of bank processing and technology solutions designed specifically for community banks. As a result of the partnership, IBT has enabled Southern Financial Systems to offer its flagship product Integrated Bank Environment (IBE), specifically, document imaging and Integrated Image Teller, with their current product suite.

“We’ve spent years going back and forth trying to decide if we wanted to incorporate a data center into the services we presently offer. In this current environment however, our clients are now outsourcing these services due to regulatory scrutiny, added complexities and lack of available personnel. Our team decided that in this moment we could present a superior outsourcing product that would enhance their ability to service their customers,” states David Glover, Senior Vice President of Sales. “After extended research and interviews, we chose IBT – because they are the best at what they do” Continued Glover.

Since 1986, SFS has been providing community banks with software and systems solutions that enable them to expand product lines, improve customer service and increase their competitive advantage. They use knowledge of the industry to identify leading edge technologies; then integrate those into customized solutions for an individual situation.

“With the integration of IBT’s flagship product Integrated Bank Environment (IBE), Southern Financial Systems can compliment their product offerings with a comprehensive and easy to use platform providing total integration. In addition, SFS will be adding new capabilities that have a direct return for the institutions they serve through improved processes”, said Mike Golebiowski, President of IBT. "We are looking forward to providing the added value to their current solutions giving SFS a strong completive edge in the marketplace."
