CHANGES AND HAPPENINGS AT PARK BANK
Park Bank is excited to announce our
new Branch Manager, Kevin Korth, to
our Park Bank Old Sauk location. Kevin
has been with Park Bank for nearly ten
years, with his most recent role as
Universal Banking Advisor at Park
Bank’s Sun Prairie location. Kevin has
the knowledge and experience to help
Park Bank’s clients to reach their
financial dreams and goals. He looks
forward to meeting you and assisting
you with your banking needs.
Park Bank at Old Sauk recently hosted
a Dane Buy Local Social on April 14.
We welcomed the members of Dane
Buy Local as well as individuals and
business owners who were interested
in learning more about Dane Buy
Local. Park Bank is a proud member of
Dane Buy Local and shares in their
belief that “We all win when you Think
Local First.” We have been operating in
Madison and the surrounding communities since 1966 and are proud to be
the area’s longest serving community
bank.
Park Bank recently added a rewards
program, Buzz Points, to those clients
who have received a debit card with
their deposit account. Buzz Points
allows debit card holders to earn points
with every purchase that can be used
to redeem for gift cards to area
businesses. Plus, there are several
local businesses that offer greater
rewards than other non-local retailers.
This encourages clients to patronize
area businesses and to help them
thrive.
For more information about Park Bank,
visit www.parkbank.com or call (608)
278-2801. We look forward to offering
you the service that you deserve.
INTRODUCING: THE DIGITAL RING
marketing agencies and direct clients
around the state of Wisconsin.
So what does the RING stand for anyway?
The Digital Ring is excited to announce
our NEW location at Old Sauk Trails
Park! (Not impressed? Wait, there’s
more!) We are a digital marketing firm
that specializes in web design and
development, social media, and, of
course, digital marketing. Our team is
comprised of some of the most downto-earth, creative talents in the field
and together we pride ourselves in our
dedication and ability to bring forth
results that our clients strive for. We
are taking this opportunity to invite our
neighbors to poke, prod, and inquire as
you embark on and/or develop your
marketing (web, social, digital)
strategies. Although The Digital Ring is
a new company, we’ve been in this
digital space for years and currently
provide services for an array of
R (Reliable) - We are the hardest
working crew you’ll ever meet... hands
down! The digital space isn’t confined
to a standard 9-5 workday and nor are
we. The digital space thrives beyond
these hours and we are busy navigating it. Our success is built on the
clients we serve and with a business
plan consisting of 99% of new business
“The saying ‘if it ain’t
broke, don’t fix it’ only
works when you’re not
interested in leading
the pack.”
referrals, we’d say we’re right on track!
I (Innovative) – From creative ideas to
custom-built technology and “new
school” digital strategy, learning your
business and outpacing the competition is what we live for. The saying “if it
ain’t broke, don’t fix it” only works when
you’re not interested in leading the
pack. We’ve found that it’s harder to
catch up than pave the way. Here at
The Digital Ring, our clients like to
lead, not follow... and so do we.
N (Navigate) - We are more than just
fulfillment. We educate, train, and keep
our clients up to speed in this fastpaced digital space. Maybe you don’t
need a Twitter account? Do you really
need an iPhone app? Or maybe you’re
missing out on market share, because
past experiences have left a bad taste
in your mouth? We solve these
problems for you.
G (Goal) – As repeat entrepreneurs
ourselves, we understand the bottom
line results our clients seek. Our
strengths lie in the introduction and/or
enhancement of your digital strategy.
We utilize these strengths, so that YOU
can reach your goal as cost effectively
as possible. Period.

SUPRANET COMMUNICATIONS, INC. COMPLETES SOC 2 TYPE AUDIT
SupraNet is proud to announce the
completion of the SOC 2 Type 2 audit
for 2014. The SOC 2, which stands for
Service Organization Control, provides
assurance about security, availability,
confidentiality, processing integrity
and/or privacy of user entities’ information processed by the service
organization. The SOC 2 Type 2 report
includes a detailed description of tests
and results of controls performed by
the CPA.
The SOC 2 extends the reach of
SupraNet’s previously completed
SSAE 16 Type II (Statement of Standards for Attestation Engagements).
The SSAE 16 Type II reports on
controls such as those related to
compliance and operations. It included
a number of improvements in the
examination of service providers and
represents a higher level of certification.
Prior to completing the SSAE 16,
SupraNet completed the SAS 70
(Statement on Auditing Standards),
which was designed to assess the
sufficiency of the service company’s
controls and the effectiveness of those
controls.
As part of SupraNet’s core value of
Constant Improvement, it is the belief
that all processes should be constantly
evaluated and improved upon to
ensure efficiency, effectiveness, and
flexibility. We encourage our clients to
give us feedback in an effort to provide
them the best quality service possible.
SupraNet regularly completes customer satisfaction surveys, as well as
surveys upon completion of trouble
tickets. Completing the above audits is
an additional way that SupraNet
continually improves upon our
services.
