Our Subscribers Say...
"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."

Downloads Today: The Ins and Outs of YESCO's Home-Grown Credit Scoring Template
At YESCO, a Salt Lake City sign-maker, they searched far and wide for a good credit scoring package that would meet their specific needs. After spending nearly a year, and looking at nine or ten different software packages, they threw up their hands and decided to develop their own. Duane Wardle, Senior Vice President & Treasurer at YESCO, submitted their template to us, and we spoke with him recently about how they put it together. . . . keep reading

What Flavor of Credit Scoring Is Right for Your Company?
Credit scoring has been around for more than three decades, but until recently it has been used primarily in the consumer market for analyzing the creditworthiness of individuals. The commercial market has been slow to embrace credit scoring, but in the past five years there has been an explosion of interest in this methodology because of the tremendous results the early adopters realized from their implementations. . . . keep reading

Case Studies in Credit Scoring: Continental Airlines Uses Scoring to Bridge Multiple Systems
A staff of four credit analysts would pull data from a variety of data sources and then use a basic credit score/MS Excel spreadsheet for financial ratios and approval of accounts. This largely manual process was cumbersome and time-consuming, and even more problematic was the fact that the approval process was largely subjective and prone to vary from analyst to analyst. In addition, there were two distinct accounts receivable systems that required analysts to toggle back and forth. . . . keep reading

Case Studies in Credit Scoring: Sargento Accelerates Credit Approvals with Scoring Solutions
Traditionally, credit-risk assessment at Sargento was a manual, paper-based process that entailed many steps, from sending out the credit application to checking the references and calling D&B to get a credit report. The process ended when all the insights gathered were used to make a decision and communicate to the sales team whether the new customer was approved or not. This arduous process took anywhere from two to three days, a timeframe which was not competitive within the industry. This exposed us to the real possibility of losing customers to competitors pending the credit decision. It also required additional effort from the sales team to keep our customers engaged while credit decisions were being made. . . . keep reading

An Expert Take on Credit Scoring - Why Integration Is So Important: The Six Key Requirements of a Good Automated Credit Policy
Part 2 of a 3 part series, By Robert S. Shultz
Automation of the credit and collection functions starts with credit approval and review. Determining credit risk boils down to two concerns: First, is there risk of payment being delayed, resulting in cost of funds exposure? Secondly is there risk of non-payment? Automation can help deliver the information and account visibility essential to understand these risks and distinguish between the two. Automated credit decisioning can be designed to determine the real risk and apply the appropriate policy. Credit decisions can best be defended if based on facts and consistent policy, not speculation. . . . keep reading
