Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN)
The Banking Industry Architecture Network – BIAN - is a global, member driven, not-for-profit association with the mission defining a common yet exceedingly flexible SOA framework for the banking industry. BIAN's goal is to define semantic SOA  definitions for the banking industry. The BIAN model is a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) with consistent service definitions, levels of detail and boundaries. Banks, software firms and service providers can then develop solutions according to this standardized model to differentiate the end customer experience.  This enables the re-use of existing software and makes it easier and less expensive to integrate commercially available products in to existing IT-landscapes.
Experian
Experian is the leading global information services company, providing data and analytical tools to clients in more than 80 countries. Experian's portfolio extends to solutions that help organisations process payments efficiently and effectively. The breadth and depth of our data coverage ensures that you can check, cleanse, convert and maintain bank account data in the format needed to process domestic and international payments.
SEPA ready data services: Experian’s comprehensive and complete bank account data validation and conversion service helps organisations to implement SEPA quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively. Our solutions validate the bank account data held and convert it into SEPA compliant IBAN (International Bank Account Number) and provide the BIC (Bank Identifier Code). Research shows, an average of one in eight bank account numbers held by corporates has a level of error that is likely to lead to costly payment failure on SEPA implementation. Having correct data in the right format is critical. By validating the bank account data held, we identify accounts that may lead to payment failure, so that they can be dealt with before submissions are made and cost incurred.
Numerix
Numerix is the leading independent analytics provider for derivatives and structured products, enabling the structuring, pre-trade pricing, valuation and management of even the most complex deals. We support all major asset classes, including fixed income, inflation, credit, equity, foreign exchange and commodity instruments, as well as hybrids (a unique feature of Numerix).

Leveraging Technology to manage Risk in the "New Normal"
Wednesday October 31st, 11:30-12:00
Open Theatre 2

The unprecedented business climate, with heavy regulatory oversight represents an enormous challenge for financial institutions to navigate the waters in the "new normal". As FSI's structure complex new products and learn to deal with the unstructured data deluge, risk management retains top position on every institution's agenda. In the past, the approach has been tactical and took a siloed approach to put in place a solution for an emerging risk in an asset class or business. However institutions need to view this area more holistically and devise strategies that are enterprise-wide and future ready to deal with new unforeseen risks.
  
Fortunately technology can help. Hear how leading institutions are putting in place a blueprint to garner a 360 degree view of risk across the enterprise to garner the single version of the truth in terms of risk numbers.

The secret to seamless corporate cash management
Wednesday October 31st, 14:00-14:45
Standards Forum

As corporates continue to grow in a more diversified market, treasurers face challenges in streamlining cash and payment processing. Global standardization in this area is therefore critical. Global corporates and banks have collaborated to embrace a common standard in corporate-to-bank communications (SWIFT) and best practices (ISO 20022) within the community to optimize cash operations.

Standardization models: The jungle versus the walled garden
Thursday November 1st, 12:30-13:30
Standards Forum

In the early days of consumer online services there were several ‘walled gardens’ - such as CompuServe and AOL – that sought to provide everything an online user might need, from email to weather forecasts, in one place. But these services could not withstand the competition from the open world-wide web and were quickly reduced to acting as regular internet service providers; the open web – enabled by open standards – was far too powerful a proposition for any single organization to take on, and a new orthodoxy was born: walled gardens don’t work. But fast forward to today and the walled garden is back. Apple’s iTunes store is the most obvious example, but there are others, for example in the world of online gaming consoles. The ‘open’ competition for iTunes comes from the ecosystem around Google’s Android OS. But this time, at least right now, there is no outright winner in the market-place: the open alternative is certainly not dominating the world of post-PC devices and apps the way the world-wide web did online services. So what can we learn from this, from a standards point of view? Can a standard be too open? Is there benefit in exercising some operational control over the deployment of a standard, to ensure it is not abused? How do we strike a balance between the need to encourage participation in a standard – to build healthy ecosystems – and to exercise control – to prevent a standard fragmenting, or its implementations becoming so diverse that they no longer interoperate? Join us for what promises to be a fascinating debate on this topic, with clear implications for how we create and deploy standards in the financial industry.
