“Our clients are embracing virtualized infrastructure at a rapid rate and the reasons are obvious,” explains eDOC Innovations CEO, Bret Weekes. “A virtual system is flexible in ways that physical boxes aren’t. This design will give our clients flexibility to tailor the deployment to the architecture they already have deployed without incurring extra expense of dedicated hardware,” comments Weekes.

The virtual appliance is hardware agnostic and portable across computing platforms. It drastically simplifies disaster recovery and is compatible with most existing VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V environments.  “With the eDOC virtual appliance solution, you’re not only simplifying and more quickly delivering this best of breed electronic document solution, you’re greatly easing systems management considerations by using a virtual appliance” says Matt Sawtell, AVP of Managed Technology Services at WESCO Net. “This solution also scales backup and recovery options from a continuous network based back to true high availability” comments Sawtell.

The International Year of Cooperatives has been organized by the UN as way of distinguishing the contribution that cooperatives bring to economic development through generating new employment, and taking part in a more collaborative social integration.

“Cooperatives are a reminder to the international community that it is possible to pursue both economic viability and social responsibility” comments Ban Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary-General.

The United Nations recognizes cooperatives as “people centered businesses”. “As a CUSO, eDOC’s primary goal is to provide innovation to our owners and peers; innovation that creates value for each member that participates with the credit union” comments Bret Weekes, CEO of eDOC.  “Through the cooperative model, eDOC encourages each peer credit union to educate young individuals and recognize that the next generation will greatly benefit from working with their community to build fiscal responsibility” Weekes concludes.  eDOC will be announcing events to celebrate the International Year of Cooperatives in the coming months.

Christian George, Director of Compliance and IT at Washington Community FCU comments, “I am really excited to be taking our eDocument strategy to the next level.

Bryce Roth, Chief Marketer at Chatter Yak comments “As Chatter Yak and eDOC Innovations are in the business of innovation (no pun intended) this is a perfect partnership for both CUSO’s.  In the last year many credit unions have made the leap to social media as a means to establish stronger member relationships, additional communication channels and strengthen their respective brands.

eDOC Innovations is no different in this respect as they have been able to brand their Facebook Fan Page using Chatter Yak’s Landing Page application and increase brand and product awareness. Having a strong social media strategy has never been more important and eDOC Innovations has demonstrated their understanding of this concept by continually utilizing the latest and greatest technologies available to credit unions and CUSOs alike.”
