The power of the Web is its ability to instantly update content. That feat is difficult to achieve when you are waiting for a third party to update your site. Therefore, we have created a very powerful, yet extremely user-friendly content management system (CMS) that allows administrators to update virtually anything on their site from text to PDFs files to individual graphics.

The CMS is highly adaptable allowing multiple administrators access to specific content "regions" of a site. This approach allows a credit union to disseminate the responsibility of maintaining a site throughout the respective business groups of the credit union. For instance, you can allow your HR Director to easily update the "Job Opportunities" section of the Web site, however restrict them from any other portion of the site.

CMS Basics Include:

• Unlimited ability to update content regions via a WYSIWYG interface
• Image management module
• Unlimited article lists/updates to lists
• Basic document management module

Flexible
Our CMS system empowers your staff to update any Web page via a browser-based editing system that is flexible enough to update anything, from rates to product information. Add graphics, upload financials - whatever the need, we provide you the path in a quick, efficient manner. We have introduced a new generation of content management with our third release or the CMS tool. The newest editor is fully WYSIWYG-based which makes Web updates as easy as typing a Word document.

Instantaneous
Update your site with the click of a button. No more e-mailing or faxing changes to a third party. No more delays in content publication. With our CMS system, updates are just a cut and paste away. The system provides a preview mode for viewing prior to posting and even incorporates an interactive spell checker.

Cost Effective
There are no limitations to the number of updates allowed. There are no user limits or fees associated with the changing of administrators. All these factors result in greatly reducing your maintenance costs. If you wish to update a rate five times daily; so be it. You have the power to do so in real-time.

Powerful
Possibly the most important feature is the ability to maintain multi-level administrators. We have observed two methodologies of Web maintenance in the credit union industry; the silo method and the content-owner method. In the silo method, all changes are completed within a centralized department, often Marketing or IT. In the content-owner method, changes are made by the respective content owners. We accommodate both methods by allowing you to set administrative rights.

Our content management system gives a “super user” the ability to set up additional administrators and, most importantly, the specific section they will be responsible for updating. For instance, your human resource director can have the ability to post/delete/change a job posting and be restricted from editing the rates page. This approach disperses the responsibility of Web updates throughout the organization.

Additional Custom CMS Features Include:

• Form Decryption – decrypt Member Applications, Loan Applications, or other private forms
• M3 Banner Ad Management – M3 gives you the ability to randomly display ads and link ads to important Web site pages. This module is intended to empower the credit union to better align their online marketing efforts with their traditional marketing campaigns.
• Interactive Calendars / Event Scheduling – The module gives credit union members the ability to sign up for events online.
• MemberPolling – The MemberPolling gives the credit union a vehicle to ascertain the opinions of its members. The polls can be completely customized to whatever question that desires information.
• Competitive Graphing Module – The graphing module is intended for community-based CUs to graphically display their rates vs. competitors. OR, it can be used for a CU's own product line such as graphing rates for certificates of deposits.
• MemberMail – This powerful system is designed to keep in contact with CU members by generating auto-emails for event notifications, rate changes, etc. It can also be fully customized and used for newsletter or other communications
