Case Study
Nelnet:
An Intelligent Application
Business Challenge
As the world’s largest processor of student loans, Nelnet Business Solutions (NBS) needed to manage a deep and disparate store of customer data, consolidate their unique product lines and reconcile complex reports on a daily basis. Based in Lincoln, Nebraska, NBS was eager to work with a local and trusted technology partner that could closely collaborate with their own developers to create a seamless, customized application. With tight timelines and few in-house developer resources to spare, NBS trusted Opti9 with this large and revenue-impacting project.
