 system that would enable it to expand its services. "SAIL Indirect provides the decision capabilities, flexibility and ease of use we need for our new indirect lending program," said Pierre Cardenas, vice president-retail for IBM Texas Employees Federal Credit Union. "Teres Solutions has extensive experience in the credit union market and has created a solution that gives us everything we need, including tracking and reporting capabilities that will help us better manage relationships with automobile dealers."

SAIL Indirect is a Web-based technology that resides within a credit union's infrastructure. The software integrates with all major credit union core systems and credit bureaus, and features an intuitive user dashboard (1) See Mac Dashboard.

(2) A software-based control panel for one or more applications, network devices or industrial machines. Dashboards display simulated gauges and dials that look somewhat like an automobile dashboard.
. The software was developed specifically to reduce the time it takes credit union staff to review loan applications, request and review credit reports, enter data into core systems, make lending decisions and quickly respond to dealers and members.

For United Heritage Credit Union, based in Austin, Texas, there were several key reasons for choosing SAIL Indirect, including its reporting features and its interface to the DealerTrack automotive finance platform. DealerTrack is a web-based platform that automates and accelerates the entire automotive financing process by electronically linking dealerships with financing sources. SAIL Indirect allows credit unions to receive credit application data electronically from the DealerTrack platform and respond with an instant decision, making the automobile loan and lease application process faster, more efficient and more accurate.

"We're sold on the fact that SAIL Indirect will enhance our relationships with automobile dealers," said United Heritage Credit Union's Senior Vice President of Lending/Chief Lending Officer Blake Richardson Blake Richardson plays drums for North Carolina based metalcore band Between the Buried and Me. He also is the drummer for another North Carolina metalcore band Glass Casket with fellow member of Between the Buried and Me, guitar player Dusty Waring. . "This is critical for us, as we've talked to a number of dealers who value the convenience of the DealerTrack platform. To be competitive with the larger national banks, we need to be in front of the dealers -- Teres Solutions' software lets us do this easily and efficiently."

 services.

Lockheed Georgia Employees' Federal Credit Union, with approximately $550 million in assets and more than 85,000 members worldwide, was struggling to meet the demand of its rapidly growing indirect lending program. It chose Teres Solutions' SAIL software to help boost productivity and increase the volume of loans sent from automobile dealers. The credit union had evaluated a number of other software alternatives but ultimately went with the SAIL solution because it was the only product with a direct link to DealerTrack and the company's reputation is undisputed among its customers.
