LAS VEGAS -- Known for its trailblazing in the data processing and network solutions arena, CU*Answers was named the recipient of NACUSO's 2008 CUSO Innovation and Collaboration award.
CEO Randy Karnes accepted the award last week along with members of the CUSO's team. Founded 35 years ago, Grand Rapids, Mich.-based CU*Answers has grown to contain four subsidiaries--CU*NorthWest, CU*South, eDOC Innovations and Xtend Inc. The CUSO serves more than 165 credit unions.
"CUSOs are starting to step out from behind," Karnes said. "I believe we can build an environment where we might not have all the answers but there are opportunities."
For the second year in a row, Ongoing Operations LLC, a disaster recovery and business continuity CUSO, was awarded an honorable mention from NACUSO. Kirk Drake, chief operating officer, accepted the award.
