CEO Ticklers Integrated with CU*Answers.com
WESCO Net Web Services, a leader in web design and hosting, has integrated the popular CEO Ticklers email newsletter with cuanswers.com.
In March 2008, parent company CU*Answers launched the CEO Tickler program with the objective of challenging CEOs to set some goals for running their credit union business, while gaining insights into their membership base. Each tickler newsletter includes challenges that are answered in a corresponding CEO Tickler Answers newsletter.
Topics for the 2009 year included Dashboards – Keep Your Eyes on the Road Ahead, which focused on utilizing CU*BASE dashboards to gauge the effectiveness of programs that drive credit unions forward, Strategic Online Banking Tactics, and Goals for Product & Services 2010.
This resource became so worthwhile that credit union staffers wanted the ability to reference the information outside of their email client. The team at WESCO Net Web Services stepped in, and now these email newsletters are also published as part of cuanswers.com.

WESCO Net Web Services Launched 60 Web Sites in 12 Months
WESCO Net Web Services, a leader in web design and hosting for the Credit Union Industry has launched more than 60 websites in the last 12 months.
This impressive count includes many different credit union sites, MicroLender Pay Day Loan origination sites, Retailer Direct origination sites, Prime Alliance Mortgage origination sites, custom Risk Management Report Generators and cuasterisk.com corporate sites.
According to WESCO Net, this is a record year for the Web Services department, with the most new development it has ever done. The launch of these new sites is in addition to the regular website updates requested by its clients.
David Damstra, Manager of Web Service says, “This has been an exciting year for us, not only have we been able to launch more web sites than we ever have before, but we’ve also been able to expand our services into innovative web applications and the new Talent Source portals. We look forward to next year being even bigger.”
Web Services Team Deploys Two New Risk Management Sites
WESCO Net Web Services, in association with CU*Answers Audit Link, recently deployed two instances of its custom-built Risk Management Report Generator web site applications.
The Risk Management Report Generator is a tool which allows clients of the CU*Answers network (cuasterisk.com) to complete their due diligence on services and products purchased from these CUSOs. The creation of the product stemmed from requirements set forth by the NCUA instruction to credit unions to perform due diligence on vendor relationships. In addition to storing answers modeled after the questions posed by the NCUA, is also allows credit unions to keep vital contract information along with legal opinions associated with the correlating contracts. This application is a collaborative effort for a community of clients to establish responses to the questions, and these responses are available to others to use or model their own responses after.
In addition to the pilot site built for CU*Answers, the Web Services team also deployed a similar version for eDOC Innovations.
Jim Vilker, VP Professional Services for CU*Answers describes it as a “full vendor management system for credit unions that partner with the cuasterisk.com network. It allows credit unions to not only complete their due diligence electronically, but to also view how their peers completed the assessment.”
