Key area of focus #3 for transitioning leaders of credit unions:

Identify (And Protect Against) The Biggest Threats to Your Credit Union.

The fun part of Strategic IT Planning is exploring new technologies, efficiencies, and ways to serve your members. The less fun part of IT, but perhaps the most important part, is protecting your assets from external attacks that could bring operations to a halt. From ransomware attacks to social engineering/phishing scams, make sure you have a plan for how to protect your IT if, and when, an attack happens.

The credit union industry is experiencing an increased turnover in leadership as a result of mergers and acquisitions, or the appointment of new CEOs or Presidents. Often lost in the early days of transition is the criticality of IT. Over the next week we will share key areas of focus for credit union leaders.

1) Document and Take Stock What You Have.

Having a clear snapshot of the state of your hardware, software applications, data, and security stance can quickly help you identify the biggest areas that need your attention when it comes to technology.

2) VoIP Phone System Implementation

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows you to make voice calls using a broadband internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line.

As credit unions expand remote work options and manage growing distributed workforces, VoIP software integrates well with desktop computers for use as “softphones” which provide more accessibility for employees who are working remotely. VoIP creates a more flexible and redundant system without having to buy costly hardware that must be maintained and eventually replaced.
