| Smartphones and Your Institution |
| Description: |
The growth of Smartphones over the last year or two has been staggering. We are now past the early adopter phase of this technology lifecycle where only sales forces, corporate "crackberry" junkies, and techies are using this technology. When my mom just asked me if she needed to get a Smartphone, not only did the earth stop rotating for a few moments, but a transition from early adopters to early majority has been made. The ubiquitousness of Smartphones can be seen every time you go to a restaurant, conference, or mall; someone is standing around typing an email or browsing the Internet from their phone.
Let's step back for a moment and discuss the effects the widespread usage of Smartphones has on financial institutions. Specifically, how does this change your employees who use Smartphones access to your institution's information?
In this webinar we will discuss:
- Phone options:
- Brands
- Mobile Operating Systems (Android, WebOS, Windows Mobile, Blackberry/ RIM, iPhone)
- Potential changes to policies
- Policy details
- Controls
- Changes to your email server settings

| Can New Technology Lower Your Total Cost of Ownership? |
| Description: |
Magazines, newspapers, friends, family, everyone has an idea on how to save money. When it comes to technology, everyone knows how to save a buck. Whether you buy a computer from a local guy who builds them himself or use webmail instead of installing Office, there is a savings and most likely a cost. The homemade PC may be harder to find drivers or replacement parts or webmail may not offer all the features needed later on. Many people will tell you to implement Citrix or Virtual Machines, amongst other fads. These technologies have the potential to save you money but they also have the potential to cost you thousands. We will discuss several new technologies and how they may (or may not) save you money.
Pros and Cons of:

| Reducing the Cost of Data |
| Description: |
Have you ever considered the cost of your data? Data, at first glance, seems to have a very small expense. Data and files can be compared to water: water costs you when you use it but the amount per use is so low you don't really consider its cost. If you need to water your grass, you do. If you need to wash your clothes, you don't stop to think what one load will cost you. Data is often thought of in the same manner. You save a file to a server and don't care if you use it later or not. It didn't cost anything to save it there, right? You are right to a large degree; one useless file saved one time is low in incremental cost. But thousands of useless files saved over a 5 year period can add a rather large cost to the bottom line.
In this webinar we will discuss some of the costs involved and some ideas to minimize those costs. Along with cost savings, a new perspective and understanding of data/file management will be discussed.

| Give the Gift of Documentation |
| Description: |
Are all your duties defined? What would your bank do if you were no longer able to work? Is there a set of instructions on how to perform your tasks? Would it take the bank one week, two months, or three years to get everything back under control? Most of us are not arrogant enough to think it would take three years for the bank to recover, but there is a chance that a couple of important steps or tasks might be overlooked for awhile.
What if a hard drive is found in the hands of a criminal? Do you have a way to determine where the leak came from? Was it taken from your bank? Trash? Recycle company?
Documentation is never fun but is crucial. We will discuss several processes that might seem mundane but need to be documented properly.

| Hosted Exchange: Is it Right for You? |
| Description: |
While you are continuing to manage the ever-growing complexities of your overall business and operations, email is quickly becoming even more mission critical to the growth and success of institutions. Each passing day finds financial institutions using email more frequently as part of their everyday business. In fact, the average employee receives 23 emails a day while the average manager receives greater than 100!
Implementing your own email solution offers some great advantages, but comes at a very high cost as you factor in the cost of hardware, licensing, upgrades, support, maintenance, and backups. Often these costs are unpredictable, making them difficult to budget from year-to-year.
Any institution looking to upgrade their mail system to the latest version of Exchange or is looking to transition to a more powerful email solution may find that Hosted Exchange is the perfect solution.
In this webinar, we will discuss:
- What Hosted Exchange is
- Advantages and Disadvantages
- Different types of offerings
- Costs
- Consideration points
- Cost comparison to in-house solutions
