FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
---------------------
KATHY HOOKER-BURRESS NAMED PRESIDENT OF SYMITAR [TM]
- Appointment Follows Cormode Resignation -
Monett, MO - August 30, 2005 - Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq: JKHY),
a leading provider of integrated computer systems and ATM/debit card/ACH
transaction processing, today announced that Kathy Hooker-Burress has been
named president of its Symitar subsidiary. Symitar is an industry-leading
provider of software systems and related services for credit unions.
Ms. Hooker-Burress succeeds Bruce Cormode who elected to resign following an
extended medical leave of absence. She has served as Symitar's manager of
national sales for more than five years, and has been instrumental in
establishing Symitar's Episys[R] platform as the core processing solution
that is now used by more credit unions with assets exceeding $25 million
than any other alternative. Her sales management also supported the growing
presence of Symitar's Cruise[R] system in the nation's mid-size credit
unions.
According to Jack Prim, CEO of Jack Henry & Associates, "We are confident
that Kathy is the right person at this time for this position. She has a
proven understanding of the credit union industry, a solid working knowledge
of Symitar and our core and complementary solutions, and a real-world
understanding of credit unions' technology and operational requirements.
Kathy also has an uncompromising commitment to client service, care, and
communications, which we expect will continually enhance the day-to-day
experience of our clients."
Ms. Hooker-Burress said, "I am honored by this vote of confidence and
thrilled with the opportunity to work with the Symitar team and our clients
in this new role. I am confident that the refinements we have made to our
sales organization will enable me to dedicate my efforts to our company-wide
commitment to exceed our clients' expectations and continually enhance their
satisfaction with our products and our services."
"In addition to congratulating Kathy on her new role, I want to sincerely
thank Bruce for his leadership and his impact on our progress. Having
worked closely with Bruce during the past five years, I believe Kathy is
poised with an outstanding opportunity to leverage Bruce's contributions to
make Symitar an even better technology partner for our clients," concluded
Mr. Prim.
Prior to her tenure at Symitar, Ms. Hooker-Burress had more than 20-years of
client service and sales management experience with companies that provide
credit unions with technology solutions.
In 2000, Symitar became a wholly owned subsidiary of Jack Henry & Associates
to ensure its viability in the consolidating data processing marketplace.
The two companies share a consistent corporate culture and service
philosophy, and as part of Jack Henry provides greater access to the
complementary products and services that credit unions need to proactively
compete in today's marketplace.
