MAP is offering semi-annual trainings and workshops for its clients named the “MAP Solutions Series.” Twice-a-year MAP offers no-cost, one-day workshops for its clients focused on new products and other special program areas that clients have identified for more training. MAP continues to offer regular online training, but as Sandy Jenkins, Vice President of Training, explains, the MAP Solutions Series will offer a special opportunity for in-depth learning.

“Many times our clients need more than one- to two-hour webinars for training and evaluation, “ she said. “This is especially true when they are planning or considering new products to introduce to their card portfolio.” The MAP Solutions Series will offer clients a comprehensive overview and learning opportunity. “Also important, clients will interact and learn from each other. Credit union people are special in that respect. They are always willing to help each other and work collaboratively. “

The first MAP Solution Series Workshop is June 15, 2010 and held at the Rainier Golf and Country Club in Seattle. This No-Cost Training will feature two guest speakers, Peggy Vasquez, Visa Business Leader for Visa Data Manager, and Penny Jurss, Visa Business Leader for ATM Product Services.

In the morning session, MAP will continue to build on its successful Marketing Analytics program with the introduction of Visa Data Manager, formerly called VisaVue Online for DPS.

The afternoon session will focus on the latest advancements in ATM marketing and technology. Participants will learn about ATM Content Manger, a web-based solution designed to assist your credit union in the management of your ATMs. ATM Content Manager includes ATM Campaign Manager, Remote Electronic Journal and Operational Command. ATM Campaign Manager’s real-time management and delivery will greatly enhance your institution’s marketing campaigns. Remote Electronic Journal is a web-based application that enables back-office personnel to view financial, administrative, and status message transactions for all terminals. Also part of the session is the ATM Cash Forecasting and ATM Profitability and Asset Management. These Cash Management Services offer clients a complete audit and view of ATM cash, allowing clients the best tools for managing cost and vendors. Finally, the latest in Deposit Automation tools will be covered, including host transmissions, unique transaction, and detailed receipts printing with options to display check images and currency break outs, supporting full migration to Check 21.
