PHOENIX--(Business Wire)--
Phoenix-based CCG Catalyst, which provides strategic guidance for banks, credit
unions, mortgage lenders and other financial organizations, announced its
involvement in the upcoming CU INFOTECH `09 conference held at the Riviera
Resort and Spa in Palm Springs, Calif., Nov. 9-12.

Mike Scheuerman, partner and senior consultant of CCG Catalyst, presents
"Reinventing IT" on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 1:30 p.m.

With the changes in regulation as well as the current economic climate, every
credit union is looking for ways to provide more value for their members. This
session will explore the how-to`s of outsourcing and provides a guide to getting
your IT organization focused on providing more value to your members by asking
the questions like:

* What is the central goal of IT?
* Is it the technology or the application of the technology?
* Why are the bulk of IT resources typically focused on infrastructure
management?
* Is IT a business drag or a business growth contributor?
* How should IT be organized to provide the greatest business benefit?

"As technology becomes more ubiquitous, credit unions must adapt their approach
to technology management to accommodate an environment where technology
infrastructure is managed externally and traditional IT services evolve to focus
on contributing more value to the business of serving the members," said Mike
Scheuerman.
