Competitive advantage in banking comes from effective use of technology The Handbook of Banking Technology provides a blueprint for the future of banking, with deep insight into the technologies at the heart of the industry. The rapid evolution of IT brings continual change and demand for investment — yet keeping pace with these changes has become an essential part of doing business.

This book explores the depth and breadth of banking technology to help decision makers stay up to date and drive better business. Assess your current technology against the new banking paradigms Procure the systems needed to protect the bottom line Implement newer technology more efficiently and effectively Ensure compliance and drive value with appropriate technology management Technological change is driven by mass adoption of new channels, innovation from new entrants, and by banks themselves as a means of increasing revenue and reducing costs. The Handbook of Banking Technology offers a comprehensive look at the role of technology in banking, and the impact it will have in the coming years.

The global financial crisis has led to more and more focus on corporate governance and financial institutions. There has been much coverage in the media about various corporate governance related issues in banks and other financial institutions, such as executive directors' remuneration and bankers' bonuses, board composition and board diversity.

Banking experts review, simplify corporate lending process. James S. Sagner and Herbert Jacobs advise on corporate lending to help bankers, lenders and corporate finance managers avoid future credit problems in Handbook of Corporate Lending: A Guide for Bankers and Financial Managers. The authors argue for a fresh approach to improving bank lending to corporations. Historically, most banks spend their efforts in evaluating loan proposals from businesses before approving or denying credit. The authors argue persuasively and with examples that lending is a two-step process: the analysis of the company in the context of its industry and its competitors; and then a loan agreement that identifies the credit risks. The book demonstrates through the use of case studies how to limit those risks to the lenders and just as importantly, to the company. Sagner and Jacobs, former senior bankers and consultants and educators to the banking industry, systematically review the process of corporate credit decision-making. Too few banks are now providing adequate formal credit-training. This leaves bankers without the proper guidance to review credit requests and create precautions for corporate borrowers and lenders. Sagner and Jacobs show readers how such factors influence credit, funding, pricing decisions and proper structuring of loans. The book covers such topics as trends in commercial loan activity, the credit loan agreement, the banker's responsibilities, risk management measurement and the credit process. Eight cases in the book highlight a variety of credit issues. "The book is written from the perspective of the banker or other lender who makes these important decisions," said Sagner. "But business people, particularly global financial managers who must secure credit and maintain excellent relations with their lenders, need to understand this important information." Sagner and Jacobs help readers navigate the issues confronting financial and banking managers. The book aims to explain the financial processes lenders use to make decisions, and to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of credit measurements so that business and financial managers are better prepared to arrange credit facilities.
