Furness Building Society selects MSS as core IT platform

LONDON, UK: Furness Building Society has selected the class-leading Mortgage and Savings Suite (MSS) from Sopra Banking Software as the Society's core IT platform. The new system will enable greater flexibility for mortgage and savings product development, and equip the Society to develop further its online offering.

The new system provides a centralised, front-to-back office single, integrated platform that allows new and innovative products to be launched in the quickest possible time. This will deliver improved processes to benefit both consumers and intermediaries, as well as ensuring operational efficiencies for the Society.

Nigel Quinton, CEO of Furness Building Society said: "The overriding objective of our new IT platform is to enable the Society to deliver a comprehensive range of products and services to its customers and intermediaries. We want to do this by providing a superior customer experience at the same time as improving the efficiency of the organisation. Sopra Banking Software offers a proven, functionally rich platform that closely matched our requirements and we have confidence in their ability to deliver the project on time and to budget.
