In early 2019 at Sawyers & Jacobs, we began development of an online platform to reach our clients who wanted our approach to banker education and our original content but in an on-demand, online environment with presentations viewable anytime and on any device. That client-driven demand led to RedTorch Academy which has proven a popular new service for our clients across the nation. We can now help more clients, more efficiently, and without travel restrictions.

We established RedTorch Studios in our Collierville headquarters to develop on-demand content as well as live presentations. Using the latest tech to reach our clients on a variety of platforms, on their terms and at their convenience, was our objective.

Little did we know how important this significant investment and year-long project would be, as March 2020 ushered in a new world and a new way of interacting with our vast network of clients, friends, and industry providers. While we believe there is no equal substitute for in-person engagements, we have leveraged RedTorch Studios to continue delivering high-quality consulting services to our clients in an online environment. Recent engagements include:

  • Strategic Technology Plans for banks in Louisiana, South Carolina
  • IT Audits & Cybersecurity Assessments for banks in Washington, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Louisiana.
  • Core Processor Evaluations for banks in Iowa, Virginia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, and Missouri.
  • Board of Directors' Strategic Planning Retreat Presentations for banks in Massachussetts and Louisiana.
  • Cybersecurity Board Training for banks in Ohio, Iowa, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
  • Business Continuity Tabletop Testing and Business Impact Analyses for banks in Iowa and Tennessee.
  • Banking School classes in Virginia and Tennessee. See photos herein of our week with the Virginia Bankers Association School of Bank Management.
  • General Consultation on bank tech and cybersecurity matters for clients in 27 states.

And...please don't forget our annual Bank Tech Summit Livestream event coming up Oct 7-9. Register today to secure your seat.

Demand has never been higher as we all make adjustments to continue serving our clients, who in turn are learning to serve their customers in new ways on a variety of digital and physical channels.

We currently perform many in-person engagements but we are glad to offer these new channels where appropriate and where required.
Jimmy Sawyers returned for his 10th year on the faculty at the Virginia Bankers Association School of Bank Management with morning classes Monday-Friday, July 27-31.
In sum, we have adjusted our sails to the current environment and are delivering the same content, expertise, valuable advice, and informed opinion on the channel of your choice. For our presentations, we continue to strive for a fun, high-energy delivery that is never boring yet always informative. Sometimes we even dress for the occasion and throw in a little Memphis style.

Our 2020 schedule is almost completely booked so please contact us if you want to engage us for any of the services listed here.

Thank you to our clients and friends who help us continue our mission of Making Banks Better!

We look forward to seeing you in person or online very soon.
