LKCS to Offer Online Chat Services

LKCS intends to grow their web service offerings and offer clients online chat services. Their solution will feature customize chat buttons, windows, and much more. As more and more consumers are conducting their personal business electronically, the fact remains that many users still want to communicate with a live human being, and we can help make that happen.

Facebook is far from a fad. It is changing how people connect with friends and family. It is changing how people learn about what’s happening around them. It is changing how people form their opinions. And it is changing how people interact with the companies they like. There are thousands of banks and credit unions with Facebook pages. Some “get it” and remain social, while some don’t.

Century Federal Credit Union is the latest LKCS client to launch a new website. The new site features applications and technology to help it better stand out on the web. The primary goal of the project was to improve the organization, functionality and branding of the existing web site. In addition, the client wanted to overhaul their youth program and incorporate social media.

Earlier this month, the US Postal Service reported a $1.9 billion decline in profit for the first half of the 2010 fiscal year. Looking at mail volumes, total mail pieces have been declining annually — a net loss of 35 BILLION pieces of mail in 2009 compared to 2007. Clearly the recession and continued e-mail growth is hurting the USPS. But, that’s not the whole picture.
