WESCO Net Is Rebranded

WESCO Net is going through a name change, the network solutions integrator and division of CU*Answers is being rebranded as CU*Answers Network Services.

The change is to “better reflect the needs of clients and changing competitive landscape and further distance itself from the old ‘WESCO’ brand that CU*Answers previously operated under,” the Grand Rapids, Mich., CUSO said.

The core processor changed its name from WESCO to CU*Answers in 2002, the same year that WESCO Net began the business of helping credit unions transition from terminals to PCs.

While keeping the WESCO name for marketplace recognition, the division expanded services to include managed security and storage, backup and disaster recovery, IP telephony, managed hosting and virtual desktop and cloud services to more than 150 credit unions in 26 states, CU*Answers said.
