Our Subscribers Say...
"Being a part of the Credit Today online community is like having the expertise of hundreds of credit managers at your fingertips. These credit execs are willing to help you solve topical business issues as they arise. In the current environment of ever increasing competing priorities which reduce our opportunities to meet peers out of the office face-to-face, this is the most valuable tool you can have on your desktop! It's important that we have a mechanism to reach out to our counterparts quickly to exchange knowledge as well as to stay on top of industry trends."
- Victoria Artis, Director of Customer Financial Services, Pfizer, Inc.
"Over the last 10 years I've seen Credit Today evolve from a monthly credit publication into a quality source of information and guidance for the B2B credit community. The website, with its user friendly form downloads, will take you from examples of new account credit applications to bankruptcy forms and everything in between.
The Credit Today ListServ has become the pre-imminent online forum, providing an opportunity for discussion and comments (and occasional humor) from an impressive list of credit professionals."
David Dungan, Director of Credit
Justin Brands, Inc. (A Berkshire Hathaway company)
Fort Worth, Texas
"There are numerous credit periodicals available to the credit professional today. How good is Credit Today? Is it relevant? I always have to read it late, or online because my credit analysts want to read it the minute it comes in. When my staff wants to read a publication before I have a chance to read it then something is working in that publication. We have cancelled our other subscriptions. When you have the best you do not need the rest."
Ron Woods
Corporate Credit Manager-World Wide
Thales Navigation, Inc.
"The newsletter, coupled with the website and the ListServ, are to us, more valuable than any other credit publication, bar none. I try to use at least one article out of each newsletter for departmental training/discussion sessions."
D. Mark Constantine
Corporate Credit Mgr
Fulton Paper Company
"I love Credit Today and read every issue cover to cover. For me, the greatest perk of a subscription is ListServ. I believe Credit Today's ListServ members may be the most knowledgeable Credit brain trust in existence today. I have saved and categorized hundreds of contributions on a wide variety of topics which I refer to often. It's an easy and cost effective way to network and learn."
Doug M. Thomas
Kimberly-Clark Customer Financial Services
"As a corporate credit manager with over two decades of experience, I consider Credit Today to be one of the best credit newsletters. Whether it is because of Credit Today's management, its distinguished panel of advisors, or the caliber of Credit Today's subscribers, it would be fair to say that some of the best and brightest minds in our profession are represented. The credit issues, technologies, news, credit department profiles, etc. are interesting and useful. Credit Today is a valuable reference and communications tool which I look forward to reading each month."

Global Study on Connectivity Across the Corporate EcoSystem
January 22, 2010
SunGard study reveals requirements for increased connectivity between suppliers, buyers, banks and other trading partners. This corporate commercial EcoSystem of suppliers, buyers, banks & other trading partners is likely the most inefficient marketplace in the world. This market is inefficient because of lack of access and transparency of data combined with poor infrastructure and connectivity and the pervasive use of manual processes. The result is a high degree of friction across the EcoSystem. The basis of this study is grounded in the concept that the intrinsic value of any corporation is based on its ability to drive free cash flow in a predictable fashion. This study aims to uncover the primary areas to target to drive increased transparency, . . .

SAP Question: How are you all are storing and updating your collector notes?
November 12, 2009
I have what should be a simple question (I think). We are set to go live on 2/1. As of right now we are going to be converting our old system collector notes and putting new notes into the Credit Master Text via S_ALR_87012218. I'm having trouble with the date and time stamp changing for the entire notes file each time I update or add new notes. Our consultants haven't figured this one out yet (low on priority list), so I'd like to ask how you all are storing and updating your collector notes, and how I can get each note line to keep it's own unique date & time stamp. . . .

In SAP, how do you pull up customer aging that shows the last 12-month history?
August 26, 2009
We'll be piloting SAP/FSCM this winter. One of the most frustrating issues with SAP is the inability to draw up a customer aging that shows the last 12 months history. Having this ability in our legacy system gives us a great picture of how the customer has trended with his payments, allowing us to make more informed decisions about the future. Has anyone done some kind of ad hoc report or purchased a bolt on that would pull up this information in SAP? . . .
