The Proof is in the Pudding “Simon has assisted the Corporate Training Department immensely! We now have a centralized Corporate Training Public Page where we can direct staff to view compliance, training material and to make suggestions on future training. Navigating through Simon is a breeze which makes going to the portal even more enjoyable! It is great to have anything pertaining to the Credit Union accessible thru Simon and posted on Public Pages, Workgroup pages, or even on an employee’s own My Pages!” Kim Christian Workgroup Manager
