American Heritage Credit Union faced a critical challenge stemming from the fragmentation of their data and member story across disparate systems. This fragmentation hindered staff from efficiently accessing essential information required to serve members promptly and effectively. Also, as the credit union was also looking to expand and grow, it became imperative to implement a robust data strategy capable of facilitating scalability while ensuring seamless member service delivery. 

Compounding the issue, everything data-related was being funneled through the IT department, including reporting and access to any information needed to help frontline staff. As a result, the IT department quickly became over allocated, further exacerbating operational complexities. There was also a reliance on outdated manual and cumbersome systems which hindered the realization of the credit union’s full potential. 

Recognizing the urgent need for transformation, American Heritage Credit Union embarked on a journey to overhaul its data strategy and optimize operational efficiency. Through strategic initiatives and technological advancements, the credit union aimed to centralize its data ecosystem, empowering staff with seamless access to member insights while alleviating the strain on IT resources. By modernizing outdated systems and embracing automation, the credit union sought to enhance agility, drive innovation, and elevate the overall member experience. 

The imperative to consolidate disparate data sources, coupled with the necessity for scalable solutions to support rapid growth, prompted American Heritage Credit Union to embark on a transformative journey towards a more efficient and member-centric operational model. 

Following a rigorous RFP process, which included evaluation of leading solutions such as Salesforce, American Heritage Credit Union ultimately decided to implement Kinective’s Data Intelligence Platform (formerly Datava). 

Kinective’s platform served as a transformative catalyst, enabling American Heritage to centralize, curate, aggregate, and organize its multifaceted data landscape.

As a result, American Heritage’s staff gained greater visibility and accessibility to member data, enabling them to deliver superior service with enhanced efficiency and speed. Kinective also provided in-house management services, effectively relieving the IT department of the strain on their time and resources. 

In summary, the deployment of Kinective’s Data Intelligence Platform represented a strategic investment in technological innovation, positioning American Heritage Credit Union at the forefront of data-driven excellence.
