Who is Kevin?

Hello Friends;

I was talking with some banking friends recently and we were marveling at the progression of technology over the past 30 years. Then I realized most reading this blog isnt aware of my background, so let me catch you up:

I began my journey working for Third National Bank in June of 1982, starting with the fabulous trade of driving checks to and from Fed Nashville – Picking up and processing returns – running checks through the IBM sorter – then balancing on the CICS system.

Joined Williamson County Bank in 1984 and helped build their initial Data Processing department – then was promoted to DP Manager – while also managing the remote processing of ATM’s, Checks, and remote printing.

WCB was acquired in 1987 by Commerce Union Bank, where I transferred and began managing a shift in the transit department (very short stint).

Was hired by a multi-bank holding company to build their data processing services using the ITI core application in May 1988 – worked with current inBiz partner (Terry Bellenfant) to convert all the data from 2 unique core systems into inhouse ITI core system – acquisitions of other banks / branches required additional conversions over the next 4 years.

With a joint partnership in 1993, Terry and I started an ITI Core data processing company with the sole purpose of attracting other banks allowing us to become their data processing outsource provider – after signing and converting more than 20 institutions, hiring more than 20 employees it was time to move on to a less stressful opportunity in life.

In 2000, I began consulting with several institutions as an independent contractor in the arena of technology, disaster planning, operational controls, and of course conversion assistance – with many opportunities seen to build software solutions to bridge core processing system gaps – Woohoo – inBusiness Services was founded to do just that – March 2001 was the incorporation date and just the beginning of many great things – currently more than 100 product contracts on file and growing each week.

So – all this and I am only 29 years old??? Ok – maybe not:)

Over the next month or so, I will try and lay out the technology changes I have seen and still marvel at.

Have a very blessed day!
