John Jones, DCI CEO said, “Daren is an extremely talented and visionary software developer who has propelled the depth, breadth and quality of our iCore360 solutions by leaps and bounds during his time at DCI. He has a keen sense of how to build our technology today so it is already where it needs to be for our bankers, tomorrow.”
Mr. Fankhauser is a 1995 graduate of Fort Hays State University with a B.A. in Computer Information Systems. After a brief engagement with State Farm in Bloomington, IL, he returned to Kansas in 1996, joining DCI as a software developer to help the company become one of the first in its industry to transform its mainframe-based data processing system into an entirely new Windows-based microcomputer client-server platform, released in 2000 under the name iCore®.
Mr. Fankhauser’s expertise quickly led to promotions directing development teams for both front-end user interfaces and back-end Solaris UNIX systems, until 2007 when he once again lead a three-year effort to redesign iCore into a completely new and cloud-based .NET architecture—another industry milestone—which the company released as iCore360 in 2010.
