Largest banks and building societies in the UK


London, UK (PRWEB) May 28, 2015

SNL Financial has released a new report exploring the state of the U.K’s banking system. Using the latest financial data, the report contains a ranking of the U.K’s 10 largest banks and building societies, an economic and industry overview, risk profile of the sector, branch network information, profiles of the major banks, M&A, regulation and a summary of common stock offerings.

Highlights:


Among the top four U.K. banks, HSBC’s 7.46% ROAE, 1.83% net interest margin and 64.16% cost-to-income ratio put it in the leading position in 2014.
Among the big four, Lloyds Banking Group had the lowest gross impaired loans ratio at 2.93% in 2014 while its Core Tier 1 ratio of 12.80% was the strongest.
At the other end of the spectrum, Royal Bank of Scotland Group had the highest proportion of gross impaired loans at 8.04% and was the only bank among the four to report a loss for 2014. The company also reported the worst net interest margin and cost-to-income ratio at 0.94% and 88.03%, respectively.
The U.K. banking sector held £7.927 trillion of assets as of June 30, 2014, down 14.7% since June 30, 2010.
U.K. banks have far fewer branches than their peers in other parts of Europe. In 2012, the U.K. had 1.8 branches per 10,000 residents, compared to between 4.5 and 7.2 branches per 10,000 residents in Spain, France, Germany and Italy in 2013.
From Jan. 1, 2013, to March 18, 2015, U.K.-based banks have completed 22 common stock offerings worth more than £13 billion, according to SNL data.

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) May 19, 2015

Sydor Instruments announced today that it has been awarded a $ 1,000,000 Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR) Phase II grant from the Department of Energy. Sydor Instruments will use this grant in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to develop a novel, direct-detection, soft x-ray imaging camera with five to ten times better position resolution than currently available technology. The Phase II program will implement the designs developed during Phase I and produce a beta prototype for testing at a soft inelastic x-ray scattering beamline.

“We are very pleased with being awarded this SBIR Phase II grant and would like to thank Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for its partnership and collaboration during this process. This grant from the Department of Energy reinforces the importance of further developing this technology which will significantly improve the ability to precisely characterize atomic structures which will in turn provide considerable benefits in terms of discovery and new material science. These detectors will be especially beneficial in any type of soft x-ray spectroscopic diagnostic. Commercial embodiments of this technology will result in better resolution for existing beamlines and enable shorter, more economical beamlines for the future,” stated Michael Pavia, President of Sydor Instruments.

Hitachi Solutions Offers Live//AX to Optimize, Enhance, and Support Existing Microsoft Dynamics AX Customers















IRVINE, CALIFORNIA (PRWEB) March 12, 2015

Hitachi Solutions America, Ltd. today announced the release of Live//AX, offering customers a predictable low cost alternative to enhance and support their existing Microsoft Dynamics AX systems. This monthly service includes a consistent team of technical and functional consultants that have the skills, capabilities, and experience to fulfill all Dynamics AX needs. Live//AX has three tiers of service, beginning with Bronze Tier at only $ 3,000 per month.

Customers are able to subscribe to one of three tiers: Bronze, Silver, or Gold. Each tier has a set monthly fee and comes with a base allocation of available team hours each month, which can be used however the customer chooses. The team consists of three Dynamics AX experts and is backed by Hitachi Solutions Group, one of the largest global Dynamics partners with over 1,000 experienced professionals. With each plan, additional hours can be added at a low, predictable rate.

“The Silver Tier economics is interesting because a customer essentially pays for only one full-time resource and, in return, receives the benefit of an entire team of experienced Dynamics AX professionals capable of performing all AX-related tasks including: AX module configuration, report writing, user training, performance tuning, support, patches and upgrades, resulting in improved end-user satisfaction and enhanced value from AX,” said Mike Gillis, president and global chief operating officer, Hitachi Solutions America.

“Dynamics AX is more powerful than ever and a true enterprise software leader, but with that power necessarily comes complexity and a requirement for specialized skillsets,” said Hal Howard, recent Microsoft corporate vice president Dynamics ERP R&D who now serves as Hitachi Solutions’ chief technology advisor. “Live//AX addresses the need for multiple skillsets at an affordable price.”

“We take great pride in becoming an integral part of your team, working at your direction, learning your processes and systems, and working your hours,” said Live//AX team member Arjita Choudhury.

Live//AX allows customers to build upon their implementation and fully achieve their business goals by working with world-class Microsoft Dynamics AX talent at a predictable and affordable price.
