The topics of this discussion will include: how and why a pandemic plan should be a part of everyone's DR/BCP program, how a severe pandemic influenza could affect your institution's workplace, mitigation measures to minimize disruption, and the institution's specific pandemic response at each alert phase.

Remote deposit capture devices are beneficial tools in helping to maximize time, productivity and valuable resources, but they can bring new risks to the table. Unlike employees using laptops outside of the office, you now have to worry about the risks associated with devices outside of your control connecting to your network. Your client has their own network and rules, while the institution has regulatory rules to abide by. In this webinar we will address: * Rules and Regulations * Best practices * Ideas for success * Safe Systems Solutions

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
