Temenos digital banking has contributed to improved efficiency in Centris’ asset recovery effort.

Looking to the Future

Centris’ choice of Temenos digital banking has turned out to be an exceptional one, as there has been a realization of significant improvement in both productivity and efficiency. Centris looks forward to continued success with Temenos digital banking, and would definitely recommend it to others seeking to improve their collection and asset recovery processes. “Based upon our experience to date, with the software and with Temenos,” said Mr. Fitzgerald, “we are eagerly looking forward to future product offerings and enhancements from them.”

Temenos digital banking’s flexibility in queue management and reporting capabilities have greatly improved the efficiency of our collection effort, and gives me complete control over my department’s workflow without reliance on IT.”
