"Managing Bank Conversions is the first guide that encompasses the complete range of management issues for systems conversions due to technology changes, mergers and acquisitions, and changes that encompass project organization, management control, and complete implementation." "Systems integration and compatibility issues have hampered most mergers and consolidations. Without a well-designed and smoothly running system, banks could potentially see a complete systems shutdown that impact bankers and customers alike, which the industry witnessed with Chemical's ATM network crash after converting systems from the Manufacturers Hanover merger." "With Managing Bank Conversions, financial institution employees now have the resource to plan and implement a systems conversion based on their needs and their systems. Beginning with a review of conversion types and needs, Managing Bank Conversions helps operations managers and officers construct a plan, maintain the proper documentation, exercise the controls needed, keep the chain of communication open, and ultimately complete the process as quickly, flawlessly, and inexpensively as possible."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
