CME Federal Credit Union Embraces Social Computing and Web 2.0 Technologies to Make Life Great for Members
CME Delivers Enhanced Customer Service Through Web 2.0 Technology From NewsGator
COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwire - March 3, 2008) - CME Federal Credit Union today announced that
the company is implementing a host of Web 2.0 and social computing tools to
improve overall employee collaboration and enhance customer service.
Serving Franklin County since 1935, CME Federal Credit Union is a thriving
business focused on customer service and success. Using a variety of Web
2.0 tools within the company, including NewsGator's Social Sites along with
Microsoft's SharePoint Server 2007, CME will implement a new corporate-wide
portal to better serve its members by enabling advanced, online
collaboration between employees.
With Social Sites and SharePoint Server 2007, the credit union's employees
can now tap into an intelligent social network similar to Facebook and
MySpace, but optimized for the corporate environment. The social network
enables employees to see what colleagues are working on and make easy
connections between people, departments and project groups. By giving
employees a place to organize and connect, they can communicate around
business interests as well as collaborate on projects and more easily share
customer feedback and suggestions.
Within the new CME portal, employees can also track member concerns through
a number of social media tools, including tags and tag clouds, which give
customer service managers and the management team real-time insight on
member information and questions. This real-time view of customer feedback
enables the CME team to immediately involve the right internal resources to
more quickly resolve member concerns and answer member questions.
"We are dedicated to the success of our credit union members, and using the
latest Web 2.0 technologies was a natural next step to ensure that we stay
connected to our members and encourage better collaboration within the
company," said Joe Toth, AVP of Information Technology with CME Federal
Credit Union.
