Established in 1863, 1st Source Bank assists its clients with building wealth and achieving financial security. The bank is a community financial services provider with community values and has held these same principles while providing outstanding customer service for more than 150 years. 1st Source operates across 81 branches in Indiana and Michigan and oversees a Specialty Finance Group that provides financing for aircraft, trucks, and construction equipment.
Prior to selecting Aunalytics, the organization conducted a thorough evaluation of its technology operations and decided to avoid locking the company into a hardware environment for another five-year period. The IT leadership chose to focus its IT resources on applications, data, and integration priorities of the business instead of continuing to support hardware internally. Additionally, the IT team at 1st Source Bank sought to deploy a near-term cloud option and expand upon its backup and DR options in order to build a more flexible and fully redundant computing environment.
Another draw on the bank’s IT staff was server management, which Aunalytics will also oversee. And with future plans to implement more advanced operational analytics, 1st Source Bank plans to start a full data management initiative, taking its data strategy to the next level.
