The Oregon Bankers Association (OBA), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Synergy by Association (Synergy), has endorsed Eugene-based IP Services to provide cybersecurity and critical Information Technology (IT) system’s management to OBA member banks. IP Services was awarded the endorsement following a meticulous due diligence process that included vetting by Synergy’s Emerging Technology Advisory Committee and Board of Directors.

Banks maintain sensitive information that they work hard to protect.  And as consumers and businesses rely more on electronic devices to bank and shop online, ensuring availability and security of evolving systems is critical to a bank’s success. The strict security and compliance standards required of banks also make operating IT more complex. IP Services solves these challenges by using an integrated set of processes and controls to ensure uninterrupted systems and business performance while adhering to strict compliance and security requirements.

“We are proud to endorse IP Services and look forward to helping our members better manage their critical IT systems,” said OBA President and CEO Linda Navarro, who also serves as the CEO of Synergy. “It is no longer feasible or economical for many banks to internally manage IT and security solutions that effectively and efficiently keep up with the constant change of the IT threat landscape. IP Services is the kind of partner banks want and need.”

“IP Services is thrilled to partner with Synergy and the Oregon Bankers Association to deliver our proven and unique IT managed services to OBA members,” said Scott Alldridge, CEO of IP Services. “We look forward to helping banks improve availability, comply with audit and compliance requirements, and bridge the gap between business and IT strategies.”
