This is a Guest Post by Mike Varley, IT Manager from Frankenmuth Credit Union and winner of our Free Trip to the Passageways PowWOW Contest.
As the winning entry in the essay contest sponsored by CU*Answers, I was given the opportunity to spend two full days immersed in the world of Passagways, intranet portals and collaboration, and I thank those who put it together for that opportunity! Attending the Passageways Powwow conference was well worth the time. In this short synopsis, I can only give you a high level view, but there is much more underneath. Suffice it to say the environment was thought provoking, positive and a model of open collaboration. Read More »
As you know, we are proud users of the Passageways Portal for our Intranet. So much so that we even offer hosted versions of it through a partnership with Passageways.
This year at the Passageways PowWOW — the Passageways annual conference — Passageways is running a Best Portal Page contest. CU*Answers has a couple of entries, and we’d appreciate your vote. So if you have a few minutes today, please view the entries and cast a vote. Voting is open to anyone.
We are particularly proud of #7.
And if you like what you see, consider getting your own Hosted Portal.
Congratulations to Mike Varley, I.T. Manager, Frankenmuth Credit Union, Frankenmuth, Michigan – Grand Prize winner of the Passageways PowWOW registration fee and accommodations.
Back in March, CU*Answers invited credit unions to submit an essay describing the benefits of owning a Talent Source Hosted Portal and the value it would add to their organization. The rules were simple: Write a minimum of 500 words and send it to portal@cuanswers.com by March 31st. Easy! Read More »
It’s time to clean out the old cobwebs and bring in new energy. Any shared resource is a lot like a closet. Everyone puts their stuff into it and it rarely gets sorted through. Now is the time to sort through that intranet or file server and clean up.
This is a perfect opportunity to put a Talent Source Portal in place to organize the clutter. Post documents, provide interactive tools and allow everyone to help keep it useful, organized and the collaboration effort moving. The Talent Source Portal is more than closet; it’s a fully stocked room of organized resources.
There are still a few spots left to save the $1500 installation fee for new Portals, so act now.
Only a few days left to submit your entry on how you would use a Talent Source Hosted Portal to improve your Credit Union. If you win, you will save your Credit Union over $750. This unique opportunity allows you to see for yourself how portals are being used by others and learn from the best about collaboration efforts. Get the inside track on new technologies and a whole host of advanced learning from peers using the Passageways Portal.
Submit your entry by March 31st for this one of kind opportunity. All entries will be reviewed for content and a winner selected by April 15th. Full details at http://ws.wesconet.com/2010/03/04/win-a-chance-to-learn-from-passageways/
