GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.–CU*Answers has scheduled its 2015 CEO Strategies Week for November 10-12.
Due to the event’s growth and popularity, CU*Answers said it is moving the event off-site to the Watermark Country Club in Grand Rapids, Mich. The new format will give CEOs a chance to collaborate without being split into two different sessions.
CU*Answers said it will host the roundtable event on Nov. 12, and will host two additional networking sessions to provide CEOs with additional time to discuss topics.
“The event allows CEOs to brainstorm topics relevant to the present and future of the industry, and this year will focus on how credit unions can become Internet retailers,” CU*Answers said. “CU*Answers CEO Randy Karnes will be coaching how to use CU*BASE tools interactively with team members, clients, management, and board members, and how it relates to being an online retailer.”
The CUSO added that the event is held for CEOs only, however, there is a Mid-Year CEO School held each winter that is open to all those who wish to attend. For info: http://www.cuanswers.com/events/.
Separately, CU*Answers, Inc. is now offering an automated end-of-month processing toolkit for its in-house, self-processing credit union clients on the CU*BASE core data processing suite. The service, which was designed to help streamline operational processes, leverages tools that the CUSO utilizes in its own online SaaS environment.
“These tools are designed to help build consistency into the end-of-month processing cycles so that our self-processing clients can manage their data centers more easily,” said Jeff Miller, OpsEngine business development manager at CU*Answers. “By creating a uniform production environment and building automated processes over the top to manage that environment, we feel that this latest toolkit gives our in-house clients much more business flexibility, not to mention allowing staff to monitor events remotely.”
According to Miller, the automated end-of-month toolkit has been deployed and thoroughly tested in a client data center for many months and will be marketed to its entire self-processing community during the coming year.
