                         RECOGNIZING MBMS, INC.

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 14, 2013

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize MBMS, Inc. as it 
is honored by the Amherst Chamber of Commerce as the 2013 First Niagara 
Bank Sponsor's Award winner.
   Founded in 1985 by James E. Kunert, MBMS, Inc. initially focused on 
mortgage servicing system consulting and software development for 
mortgage servicing and risk management systems.
   Under the pressure of an increasingly digital economy, Gary Andalora 
joined MBMS in 1987 and worked with James to expand the software 
development business. One year later, MBMS chose to focus on software 
development exclusively.
   Despite initial struggles, by 1992 MBMS had grown into a firmly 
established company. Today, their clients include 9 out of the 10 
largest banks in the nation. MBMS remains American-owned and 
domestically based, providing all services from their main office in 
Amherst, New York.
   A winner of the ``Best Companies to Work for in New York State'' for 
the past four consecutive years, MBMS's loyalty and dedication to their 
employees undoubtedly contributes to their success.
   Mr. Speaker, thank you for allowing me to recognize MBMS, Inc. for 
their 27 years of service to Western New York and our nation. I wish 
them the best of luck in all their future endeavors.
