JACK HENRY ANNOUNCES THE ACQUISITION OF TANGENT ANALYTICS, LLC
Monett, MO - March 2, 2005 - Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq: JKHY), a
leading provider of integrated computer systems and ATM/debit card/ACH
transaction processing, today announced its acquisition of Tangent
Analytics, LLC, a leading developer of Web-based business intelligence
systems. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
This acquisition follows the strategic alliance established between Jack
Henry and Tangent Analytics that facilitated the joint development of the
Intelligence Warehouse and Intelligence Manager solutions. Intelligence
Warehouse is a sophisticated data consolidation, reporting, and analysis
system that is supported by Intelligence Manager, a Web-based dashboard that
provides desktop access to user-defined decision-support information,
performance metrics, and analysis tools.
According to Jack Prim, CEO of Jack Henry & Associates, "In order to
maximize performance and profits, financial institutions of all sizes must
have accessible, accurate, and timely business intelligence. Intelligence
Warehouse and Intelligence Manager are proving to be high-interest solutions
among our clients for managing strategic areas of their businesses more
effectively with consolidated, real-time decision-support information and
analytics."
Russ Bernthal, president and CEO of Tangent Analytics, said, "Intelligence
Warehouse and Intelligence Manager provide diverse financial organizations
with centralized repositories of actionable information about their
customers, products, profitability, and risks. As financial institutions
grow and expand their offerings, data gathering, reporting, and analysis
becomes dramatically more complex. Tangent's turnkey business intelligence
solutions leverage data structuring expertise and state-of-the-art data
warehouse technology to seamlessly compile the information financial
institutions need to identify and respond to business trends, and to make
more informed strategic and tactical decisions."
Tony Wormington, president of Jack Henry, reported, "We also have identified
opportunities to leverage Tangent's data consolidation, reporting, and
analysis applications to further enhance the solution suites offered by
several of our recently acquired companies, including the ATM channel
management solution provided by eClassicSystems, Inc.; and the risk
mitigation solutions provided by Optinfo, Inc. Tangent's solutions provide
the sophisticated and proven foundation for our company-wide data warehouse
solutions."
Kevin Williams, CFO of Jack Henry, concluded, "We do not expect this
acquisition to impact revenue or EPS in the near-term. But we believe the
ability to more proactively control the ongoing development and enhancement
of these solutions will provide our clients with competitively distinct
business intelligence that will become mission-critical IT solutions.
Consistent with the majority of our recent acquisitions, Tangent Analytics
also provides a product offering that is compatible with larger financial
institutions and can be sold outside our traditional markets."
