A Data Platform to Power Credit Unions
CUNA Mutual AdvantEdge Analytics announced it will work with Microsoft to develop a standardized cloud-based platform for the credit union industry that will allow credit unions to benefit from the scalability of leading technology and integration essential to a data analytics strategy.
“Working with Microsoft is a major step in our continued commitment to delivering innovation to the credit union industry and strengthening for the future. We are not only addressing the changing financial needs of credit unions and their members, we are leading the way by collaborating with one of the world’s most innovative companies. This is an exciting time for our industry” – President and CEO, CUNA Mutual Group, Robert N. Trunzo.
The new data platform will deliver deeper insights into a credit union’s business data through Power BI and translate these insights into action through Dynamics 365 and other digital transformation tools like Power Apps and Microsoft Flow. It will further enable the AdvantEdge Analytics data platform, independent software vendors (ISV’s), partners and third parties to expand data models, accelerating the possibilities for digital transformation for credit unions.

“Together, our companies will significantly advance the industry’s data analytics capabilities to a new level, creating an industry-leading platform that will best position credit unions to improve the member experience, enable growth and compete more effectively with larger financial institutions and fintechs. Combining Microsoft’s technology leadership and CUNA Mutual Group’s long-standing experience working with credit unions, together we will exponentially expand the industry’s ability to capture the full value of data analytics to meet and exceed the evolving needs of their members” – President AdvantEdge Analytics, Tim Peterson.
