Core System Conversions Are Like NASA Spacecraft Launches, But 'More'
What I mean by "more" is that just in the past five years, U.S. banks performed 2,890 vendor-assisted, core conversions as a result of switches to a new core system. Add to that the conversions at 1,877 banks in the same period as a result of bank consolidations, and you've got 4,767 conversions going on at banks, thrifts and credit unions. So 29 percent of all financial institutions went through a conversion in the past five years. That work represents one huge consumption of pain relievers.
