SilverLake System®
The Competitively Distinct Commercial Banking Platform

Our ultimate goal is to provide the expertise and the integrated technology that diverse banks need to execute and maximize their unique and evolving strategies, and to capitalize on the dynamic trends shaping the financial services industry.

IBM® Power™ System-Based Core Processing Solution

SilverLake System is a competitively distinct, extremely powerful banking platform that provides highly customizable, enterprise-wide automation designed for growth- and commercial-focused banks ranging from community banks to multi-billion, mid-tier institutions. Approximately 425 banks have entrusted their ability to attract, serve, and retain their customers to SilverLake including more than 20 percent of the domestic mid-tier banks with assets ranging from $1 billion to $30 billion.

SilverLake can be installed in-house or implemented through OutLink Data Centers™, Jack Henry Banking’s outsourced offering. Banks also have the option to fully customize the system to support their unique operational requirements or the system can be implemented for OutLink customers as an “off-the-shelf” solution using an expedited and streamlined process.

This bank-centric system effectively supports dynamic processing requirements by integrating robust core functionality with approximately 140 best-of-suite complementary products and services. SilverLake can also leverage existing technology investments with jXchange™, a services-oriented architecture on a .NET platform that provides open connectivity between Jack Henry Banking’s core and complementary products and third-party niche solutions.

This sophisticated information and transaction processing platform continually benefits from client- and regulatory-driven enhancements to the core functionality, the regular introduction of new complementary solutions, and the integration of practical new technologies. SilverLake maximizes operating flexibility and each bank’s technology investment with its open architecture, scalable hardware platform, and proven ability to seamlessly accommodate long-term growth and the dynamic product, service, and technology trends shaping the financial services industry.

SilverLake consistently generates the highest client retention rate among IBM Power system-based solutions.

Customer Service and Satisfaction

Our primary and sustainable competitive advantage is customer service. Our company is fundamentally committed to providing service levels that consistently exceed client expectations and produce rewarding levels of client satisfaction and retention rates.

We methodically and regularly measure our service levels using comprehensive annual surveys, including executive and operations versions, and more than 80,000 random surveys initiated by the customer service requests we receive each year. The results of this year’s survey process once again confirmed that our service levels exceeded our clients’ expectations and generated satisfaction levels we believe to be among the highest in the industry. In addition to our overall survey process, dedicated surveys are also used to grade specific aspects of our client experience including product implementation, education, and consulting services.
