Press Release Body: TALLAHASSEE - In an effort to demonstrate a commitment to community banks in the state of Florida, Sageworks, Incorporated is pleased to announce its decision to join the Florida Bankers Association (FBA) as an Associate Member.

One of the products Sageworks offers to FBA members is Sageworks Analyst (http://www.sageworksanalyst.com), which empowers loan officers and credit analysts in community banks by enabling them to make accurate credit decisions in a timely manner and with lower origination costs. Specifically, the technology helps bankers:
- interpret the financial condition of loan applicants compared to current industry averages;
- examine highlighted risk areas that may have been overlooked;
- evaluate a business, including the principals behind the business, and any real estate owned by the principals to create a global cash flow and ratio analysis.
\"Our software synthesizes complicated financial information and transforms it into easy-to-understand reports,\" said Scott Ogle, COO of Sageworks. \"The company is growing rapidly and is servicing more and more banks in the southeast because bankers are realizing how simple the product is to use. We\'re excited about the possibility of sharing it with more bankers in Florida.\"
Presently, Sageworks is working with more than a dozen community banks in the state of Florida, all of which utilize its web-based solution, Sageworks Analyst.
\"The banking industry is becoming more and more efficient in part to the technological advances of companies such as Sageworks,\" said FBA President and CEO Alex Sanchez. \"The FBA welcomes Sagworks as an associate member.\"
