AdvantageCIO, a division of CU*Answers, recently announced it has launched a new credit union merger technology planning service to guide executives through the challenges of combining disparate networks into one secure and cost-effective combined network.

The service reviews existing network configurations at both credit unions, inventories equipment and communications, identifies areas for optimization, and provides a road map for successful and cost-effective use of technology to help make the merger a success.

“Credit union mergers are complicated. There are myriad considerations for executives to navigate,” explains David Wordhouse, EVP of Technology at CU*Answers. “We approach this service from the business perspective, filter out the noise and provide a clear plan for what it will take to stick together a combined network in a secure fashion while trimming the fat and optimizing capital expenditures.”

“Our service inventories equipment, determines remaining useful life and potential upcoming headaches, reviews communications strategies to identify areas for savings, assess remote employee connectivity and security, backups, WiFi, and more.”

The service is available now from AdvantageCIO. To order or for more information, visit the AdvantageCIO store.
