T H I R T E E N T R U T H S O F P I P E L I N E M A N A G E M E N T Truth #1: The first truth of pipeline management is, as you might expect, that a strong pipeline avoids the quarter end crunch.

Here at DRS Advisors we are always looking for ways to apply the power of financial engineering to making life more enjoyable, if ruthlessly practical ...

In my last blog post I wrote about the problems banks will have with fraud detection when the three day payment process window shortens dramatically from January 2012.

We often talk about fraudsters going for the weakest link, but we don't often think the police wil...
