CUNA Technology Council White Paper Discusses “In-House” Versus “As a Service”
Madison, WI – There’s no doubt that the cloud and virtualization are playing increasingly greater roles in credit union technology plans. Whether they use these options today or plan to within the next decade, credit unions agree the trend is toward off-site hosting.
A new white paper from the CUNA Technology Council, “In-House or ‘As a Service'” examines how the roles of information technology professionals are shifting, along with ever-changing technology. But if anything, they have to be even more technology-savvy today, to ask service providers and partners the right questions and to stay on top of tech challenges and potential off-site problems.
The key, it seems, is to determine the right time to make the shift—considering each operational need as it arises, and balancing costs with control and security with flexibility. The ultimate goals: to serve members’ needs and demands, while maintaining privacy and protection of members’ personal financial information.
CUNA Council members are eligible to receive complimentary copies of this, and over 300 other white papers; non-Council members may purchase white papers for $50 per copy.
The paper is available online in the white paper section of http://www.cunacouncils.org/.
