Key Insights

We are focusing on digital channels and member experience. As CTO of United Educators Credit Union, Dennis focuses on delivering top-notch member experience through digital channels. “While there can be a lot of complexity in delivering solutions through the digital channel, for us the goal is to make it easy to use and intuitive for our members.”

⚡ It is not only BI. There are other human components in enhancing the member experience. Dennis discusses the concept of business intelligence (BI), focusing on its role in data-driven decisions and enhancing the member experience. “I believe business intelligence tools can help to differentiate and enhance the member experience through technology. As a smaller credit union, we also believe proactively reaching out to members and BI can help tell us when to do that. This brings both the technology as well as a human element to servicing our members.”

⚡ The member experience is the combination of a functional backend and a nice frontend. Dennis states that enhanced member experience consists of both functional and efficient backend coupled with a compelling frontend design, if they don’t work well together than you create a disjointed experience. “To me, member experience, at least for the digital channel, is coalescing a lot of functionality from the backend so that it is both usable and beautiful on the member facing side.”
