Teres Solutions Opens Annual User Conference to All Credit Unions
“Shine in ‘09” to Offer Expanded Agenda and Sessions on How Credit Unions Can Tap into Lending Market Opportunities

AUSTIN, Texas – April 14, 2009 – Teres Solutions™, Inc., a leading provider of direct, indirect and merchant lending software to credit unions and financial institutions, today announced that its annual user conference will open its doors to all credit unions, including non-clients. Titled “Shine in ’09,” the conference will include a separate industry track designed for any credit union looking to tap into the tremendous opportunities the new lending landscape offers to CUs across the country. The new track will offer best practices and key steps to improve lending success in this economic environment. The Shine in ’09 event will take place May 31-June 3rd at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas and registration is now open at www.TeresSolutions.com.



“With the credit union share of the auto lending market jumping to 25 percent this year, now more than ever credit unions need a forum where they can share ideas on how to best take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime member and lending market-grab,” said Tim Kelly, CEO of Teres Solutions. “But this year many of the top lending conferences have already been canceled. That’s why we’ve decided to expand our conference content and open our event to all credit unions.”



This year’s conference will feature two separate tracks: one designed specifically for Teres Solutions SAIL® (Software Application for Integrated Lending) software customers and another open to anyone in the credit union industry interested in industry lending topics and trends. They will feature experts from leading credit unions and lending organizations, who will share their experience succeeding in this new loan market landscape. These educational tracks and industry panels will cover innovative ways credit unions can expand in 2009, such as lending best practices, compliance imperatives, auto industry trends, merchant lending, automating cross-selling, up-selling and more. In addition, many sessions will feature demonstrations of new technologies, including the latest features and capabilities in the industry-leading SAIL software family of products.



“One of the best things about the Teres Solutions annual user conference is it brings together some of the brightest and most talented lending executives in the credit union market to foster an environment for best practice discussions in lending,” said Pierre Cardenas, Senior Vice President of Retail, Amplify Federal Credit Union. “The expansion of this year’s event program should prove even more helpful to a credit union’s lending success in 2009 and beyond.”
