Symitar is going virtual with its big Episys users conference this year, calling off the August event in San Diego in favor of an online conference.
"We have had numerous discussions with our clients during the past few weeks, and their message is clear-this is no time for business as usual. Most of our clients are slashing if not entirely eliminating their travel budgets," said Kathy Hooker Burress, president of the 700-client credit union core processing division of Jack Henry & Associates.
"But our mandate became clear-leverage the latest technology in a way that lets us deliver the same educational benefits to our clients while minimizing the impact to their calendars and their bottom lines," Hooker Burress said.

Details of the online conference are being worked out, said Symitar marketing manager John San Filippo. He said the company wanted to make the initial announcement as soon as possible so credit unions can plan accordingly.
The three-day meeting for users of the Episys core processing platform normally attracts about 700 attendees and 100 exhibitors.
