RVTC sees big results from a small investment
“We have had great results with on-bill ads!”
This is how Shawn Schany, Sales Associate for River Valley Telecommunications Coop (RVTC), describes the company’s experience with MACC’s on-bill ads. The ads, located on the face page of a company’s monthly statements, are a small investment delivering big results. If customers look at the statement to see how much they owe, the ad is almost impossible to miss.

The bad guys are out there! Be ready for them with a good backup system
Have you ever seen an exciting Hollywood blockbuster where the cloaked bad guy smashes his keyboard in front of a command center of monitors and cans of empty Red Bull? In these movies, the “hackers” are always quick to get in, take what they want, and get out. And they are always rewarded with a flashing screen that says “ACCESS GRANTED!” While real life hacking isn’t nearly this easy or glorious, these are real threats to cyber security nonetheless.
One of the many ways to protect yourself from cloaked antagonists wearing Guy Fawkes masks is to have a good backup system and here is some of what MACC has to offer!
