Beware all Fiserv datacenter employees. Fiserv is shifting their data centers to a company called UFS. It’s going to start with the Brookfield DC, and will spread to others once complete.

UFS is horrible! Another financial institution I worked for used them. They were down all the time. You get what you pay for Fiserv.
This is the d-mbest thread ever.
FI (Financial Institution) Core Process provider

Is UFS a new name for Finxact? Never heard of UFS as a Fiserv core provider for Banks or Credit Unions.
A bit of confusion here. UFS is a Fiserv core provider, they provide a high-touch and more customizable solution than Fiserv offers. It isn’t so much that Fiserv is moving out of the data center business, just that there are some clients that are frustrated with Fiserv and moving them to UFS is a retention play.
Took 14 years of failed planning of DIY data center movings and consolidations to finally give up and outsource it.
Datacenter employees --- on the last few days of employment - do not sabotage anything but hide a few dead fish near the hot areas. Boy will the conversion staff from UFS love that.
UFS is a FI Core Process provider also. I've worked on conversions from them.
Brookfield is already sold. Fiserv must vacate within 15 months.
Beware all employees. When they decide to make the switch it will be all hands on deck to deal with the dumpster fires they started.
Brookfield will take 5 years or more to have clients off of the current setup there.
