Growing Company for Creative & Developing Minds



The future of investing from the company that few know about. This company is a hidden gem, offering self-directed non-traditional IRA investing to their customers through online investment services and educational services. I had the truly unique and unexpected experience of finding this company on a TWITTER search for "IT Internships". Now after learning so much about this company I can't believe that I stumbled upon such a truly good financial company that has its customers and employees needs at the core of its mission

I am currently working on gathering and detailing the Functional Requirements for Equity Trust's core customer system "eVantage" in addition to their subsidiary company's system "Sterling Trust Online". Such requirements should provide value and assist in a more elaborate plan by the company to merge all core systems. This plan, as well as the company's online services has allowed IT operations to be at the forefront of this growing company. The IT operations employees are among some of the hardest working individuals I have ever met. They are at work constantly in the office and at home. It is there that they work on various projects trying to integrate and expand the company into the future.

But the most intriguing aspect of Equity Trust's IT operations is the ability to be creative and have an instant impact on the company because of it's size. These IT projects are creating instant value to the company. I personally have been able to assist in testing system enhancements to eliminate bugs and defects in the various systems that will be deployed within the the month! This internship experience I believe is unmatched with even the biggest firms and budgets that can offer college students the so-called "best training" and "experiences".

I can't wait to see what else awaits me in the remaining 6 weeks of the internship!

STAY TUNED
