According to Goldleaf, Sierra Image Services combines the company’s Sierra Xpedite client applications with its Payments Gateway, Sierra Xchange, deployed in a Goldleaf ASP environment, and with Goldleaf’s outsourced image processing services. The company claims that the new system eliminates the need to deploy new software in the financial institution back office, and provides an approach for advancing deposit automation initiatives.

Sierra Image services supports multiple points of presentment, including Sierra Xpedite Front Counter, Sierra Xpedite Back Counter and other Goldleaf client applications. Deposits are received and consolidated from financial institution branch and customer locations within Goldleaf’s Sierra Xchange ASP.

Sierra Image Services employs Goldleaf’s outsourced image processing services for validation, correction and balancing and creates extract files necessary for posting and settlement, said Goldleaf Financial Solutions.

Lynn Boggs, CEO of Goldleaf Financial Solutions, said: Sierra Image Services is a natural extension of our expertise as a leader in deposit automation, and it demonstrates the synergies we are realizing as an integrated organization and a strategic solution provider to financial institutions of all sizes. Financial institutions want to find proven partners that can promote their initiatives with scalable, flexible solutions.
