FPI next generation of software

BASIS™ was our first generation branch delivery system. A fully integrated system, BASIS offered associations a single source for inputting and maintaining all loan information, from marketing to loan origination and continuing through loan management.

Today, EmPOWER, our next generation loan origination and servicing system, is bringing the best of FPI's BASIS and Northwest Farm Credit Service's ILO™ systems together. Our new system is built on the Microsoft .NET technology platform.

EmPOWER takes the two proven current systems to the next level by "EmPOWERING" associations with even more flexibility in how they deliver their services. Associations are able to configure systems to match their workflow styles and to focus on the most efficient ways to perform marketing, credit origination, credit servicing, portfolio management and financial services delivery and management.

The bottom line is this: The best is getting better as we migrate BASIS and ILO to our new "best-of-breed" integrated system.

Fully-integrated software systems

Most software developers have a vision of providing fully integrated systems. That is, fully functioning systems where all components in the network communicate with each other. But very few organizations actually accomplish this mission.

FPI is one organization that has.

We did it with BASIS, our first generation branch delivery system. And we are hard at work developing the next generation, a comprehensive upgrade that helps make management of an association's credit and financial services business faster, easier and more dependable than ever.

With FPI systems, you enter data once, and the data is immediately accessible throughout the network (subject to security requirements). For example, if you enter a prospect's name in CreditSmart, our loan origination system, his or her name will be "populated" in all systems — credit analysis, loan accounting, management reporting and customer demographics. When the prospect becomes an association customer, there is no need to reenter the name.

Of course, all systems are modernized to live in harmony with the next generations of technology infrastructure, such as Windows 2000 and Microsoft® .NET.
