North Dallas Bank and Trust Co. announced it has formed a data analytics team led by new Chief Analytics Officer James Tipton, who was the bank’s chief credit officer.
An independent community bank established in 1961, NDBT said the move transforms its data bank into an actionable enterprise asset.
Tipton’s new duties include oversight of the strategic, administrative, and operations functions of the team, and providing the vision, leadership, creative direction, and support needed to bring greater tangible business value to the bank’s data reserves, NDBT said.
“The data landscape is evolving at such a rapid pace that it’s critical to have dedicated resources focused on collecting and interpreting that data daily,” Tipton said in a statement. “We will then pose different, better, and more thought-provoking questions about our business, which will allow NDBT to gain more intuitive insights to customer preferences and patterns, leading to new and better solutions.”
Joining Tipton as NDBT’s first dedicated data analyst is Dylan Coats, who has worked as an analyst within the bank’s credit operations division for the past three years.
“This team is an important next step in our emphasis on developing both new and next generation relationships across a broader community,” Larry Miller, NDBT’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “By applying what we understand about our business, our brand, our existing customer base, and our market environment through a focused approach to data analytics, we will be in the ideal position to turn data into decisions.”
NDBT has five banking centers in Dallas, Addison, Frisco, Las Colinas, and Plano.

The Dallas Public Library’s J. Erik Jonsson Central Library in downtown Dallas—one of America’s largest—was built in 1982 across from Dallas City Hall, and many agree it could use an overhaul. That especially includes library officials and consultants they brought in for a report on the building’s future, among other needed investments in the city’s library system.

The Dallas Cowboys have already made some major moves this offseason.
The team fired defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, replacing him with Christian Parker, and is reportedly set to franchise tag wide receiver George Pickens.
However, the Cowboys still have some other notable decisions to make this offseason as they look toward next season and beyond.

Jaydon Blue, RB
Blue entered training camp as a rookie with some notable hype from the fan base but quickly became an afterthought in the running back room as the season began.
Javonte Williams certainly deserved all of the attention after impressing early on, but few fans likely predicted that Malik Davis would eventually become the team’s backup running back while Blue remained sidelined as a healthy scratch.

After Miles Sanders suffered a season-ending injury, Blue appeared set for more reps but the coaching staff clearly didn’t trust him yet.
If Blue can’t show some notable improvement during training camp this summer and next season, the Cowboys won’t have much of a reason to hold onto him and could look elsewhere once next offseason rolls around.
Jake Ferguson, TE
This might be a controversial pick to some, but Ferguson will need to prove that he can live up even further to the four-year, $50 million deal he signed with the Cowboys before this past season.
“Make-or-break” for Ferguson’s situation doesn’t mean he’s in danger of getting cut or anything, but if he repeats his forgettable late-season stretch in 2026, there will definitely be some concern if his contract extension was worth the price that Dallas paid.
After catching six touchdowns across the first seven games of the season, Ferguson had just two scores in the final 10 contests while failing to post more than 60 yards in a single game during this span.

Sam Williams, DE
Williams is set to be a free agent this offseason, but if he signs a one- or two-year deal with the Cowboys to return for 2026, he immediately re-enters make-or-break territory.
Williams had 8.5 sacks combined during his first two seasons in Dallas before injury kept him out all of 2024.
He had just one sack this past season and will need to get back to his prior form in order to have a role in the Dallas defense moving forward.
