What Genesys Technology Group does

Genesys Technology Group, LLC is a private bank technology consulting firm headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, founded in November 2007 by David Saylor. The firm provides independent advisory and project management services to community financial institutions — primarily community banks under $10B in assets, with a secondary segment serving de novo (newly chartered) banks. Its service portfolio is organized under a proprietary 'Genesys Process' methodology: Core Services (contract renewals and negotiations, core and ancillary vendor evaluations, in-house versus outsource processing assessments, strategic technology planning, debit card optimization, managed services evaluations, de novo consulting, merger and acquisition technology due diligence, and 'digital makeover' assessments) and Support Services (conversion management, new product installation, project management, in-house-to-outsource migrations, de novo installations, and enterprise project management acting as an extension of the client's team).

The firm does not develop proprietary technology products. Its internal tooling consists of a Smartsheet-powered client collaboration portal branded as 'The Genesys Platform,' used for project tracking and engagement management. Core delivery is human advisory work performed by a team of 11-50 professionals with deep domain expertise in core banking platforms and the 'Big 4' core processors (FIS, Fiserv, Jack Henry, CSI), supplemented by a curated network of managed services providers.

The business model is professional services revenue from project-based engagements and multi-year retainer arrangements, with quote-based pricing not publicly disclosed. The firm reaches customers through direct sales engagement, banking association event participation (VBA, TBA, ABA, IBAT, Mid-States, Gulf States, CBA), a content marketing program (the 'Tech Revelations' newsletter and blog), and a high-leverage referral channel from existing satisfied clients. Genesys reports having served over 500 financial institutions cumulatively since founding. The firm is privately held with no external institutional funding, no disclosed acquisitions, and no leadership transitions beyond founder continuity and a recent executive hire (David Noël as EVP Support Services in November 2024).

Broad incumbents
