Bank Administration Institute (BAI) President and CEO Debbie Bianucci helped kick off the Opening Session of Shaw Systems'  2008 Solutions Beyond Software Workshop on April 21 by communicating BAI's vision of key issues in the financial services industry.  She discussed the sub-prime crisis, the regulatory environment, workforce changes, and consumer credit risk management.

Attendees from banks, auto finance companies, and other financial institutions across the country immersed themselves in an environment of educational and networking opportunities during the multi-day event April 20-23.  Conferees returned to their workplaces armed with strategic insights for their day-to-day business challenges.

Breakout session topics included Delinquency and Charge-Off Processing, Getting the Most of Your Maintenance Plan, Staying Afloat with Prime, and multiple sessions exploring the latest enhancements and functionality in the current Shaw product releases.

Former NFL referee Jerry Markbreit closed the conference with a presentation about his 43 memorable years of officiating on the field and what those experiences taught him about courage, taking risks, and facing challenges head-on.

The 2009 Solutions Beyond Software Workshop is scheduled for March 22-25 at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Please join us next year!
