Frandsen Financial currently offers a broad range of financial services through its locations in Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Dakota. "We're especially looking forward to implementing ITI's consumer and business Internet banking solutions, Premierecom and Premierecorp," added Hoban. "As our customer base for this delivery channel expands, so will customer satisfaction as they experience these robust solutions."

ITI also will provide Frandsen with Web design and hosting services.

ITI delivers next-generation banking through Premier's openly integrated software and services. Available for both in-house and outsourced environments, Premier offers products for virtually every banking function, including Internet banking, imaging and document management, executive intelligence, relationship management, branch automation and core accounting - all available on the industry's most popular Unisys and IBM hardware platforms.
