Developer’s Help Desk Team – The Power of the API

The Developer’s Help Desk (DHD) represents a new and exciting vision for how client software development projects are handled at CU*Answers!  DHD is uniquely targeted to facilitate the process by which clients design, build and manage custom projects in a new, innovative way.

API development represents an important process to continually enhancing our flexibility in proving data via a streamlined, secure manner.  This applies not only to the tools we develop but provides a gateway to allow others to develop products that connect and integrate into the CU*Answers product suite.

This process is important for a variety of reasons – for instance, once an API is developed, it may be used by other third party applications, CU*BASE, It’s Me 247 Online Banking, loan applications and additional access points in the future.  Learn more about API by viewing the video below!

During its first three years, the DHD received 1,605 custom project requests, and completed 726 projects, which encompassed over 30,000 programming hours. The volume of custom software projects completed in year three as compared to year one increased by 42% and the number of applied programming hours increased by 70%.

Scott Page, Developer’s Help Desk Business Manager, said: “It’s exciting to see the continued growth in client and vendor custom software project requests, programming development and completed projects moved into production. Today, the DHD business brand is considerably more established, and the volume of custom project orders being placed through our DHD website and online store is steadily growing.
