Because of CoreSite's robust interconnection solutions, customers benefit from secure, reliable and lower latency connections to speed banking transactions and promote a seamless online banking experience.
Growing customer preference for online banking has made uptime and infrastructure resilience more critical than ever. However, service disruptions with the credit union's existing data center provider threatened the availability of its platform—and ultimately, the customer experience. To continue to deliver the services its customers expect, the nearly 90,000-member organization needed a data center partner that could offer uninterrupted, secure access to its portfolio of online banking applications. It also wanted to shift its internal IT resources to delivering business-driving, customer-focused initiatives that enrich the banking experience and the value it provides its customers.
The credit union's member organization recommended CoreSite, touting its best-of-breed, highly reliable facilities and customer-centric approach. Today, CoreSite meets the financial cooperative's needs on every level, delivering the reliability, security and support it needs to service its customers and meet the stringent compliance demands of the financial services industry. With its branch offices and customer base located throughout the greater Washington D.C. metro area, the credit union established a point of presence (POP) at one of CoreSite's purpose-built, enterprise-class data centers in the region.
