  • Swansea Building Society Q&A
    Swansea Building Society Q&A We recently caught up with Chris Wright, Application Delivery Lead, to find out how the Society are getting on with CXFINANCE two years after implementation. Name – Chris Wright Job title – Application Delivery Lead Bio – Founded in 1923 Swansea Building Society provides its members Number of staff - 53 with loans secured on residential properties and a wide variety of savings accounts. Operating predominantly in the South Wales area, the Society Number of core users – 4 prides itself on the personal and tailored service it provides to its Branches – 4 branches, 1 head office members and the work it does within the community to fundraise and promote local charities. Date of implementation – September 2016 Q. To kick things off could you please provide us with some background information about the Society and why you chose CXFINANCE? A. At present there are four of us who work directly with CXFINANCE, two of us primarily produce the reports for the Society, while the two other team members head up reporting from the Finance point of view. The key driver behind the decision by the Society to procure CXFINANCE was the desire to move away from what was a fragmented reporting setup. There existed an assortment of report generating software, including SQL, SSRS and Crystal reports. The aspiration was to bring CXFINANCE online to integrate all the reports the Society holds to produce a single centralised view. We still have some way to go but we are making good progress. Q. Can you explain how you are currently using CXFINANCE? A.
