Financial institutions typically have many silo systems to handle the various risk management and compliance requirements, making it extremely challenging to obtain an integrated picture of their risk exposure. Many firms need to improve their ability to analyze financial and operational risk, particularly to meet the requirements of Basel II, Basel III, Solvency II, Liquidity Risk, Stress Testing and the Dodd Frank Reform, and for risk capital and performance measurement.
Firms need a flexible and scalable infrastructure that can be extended to adopt best practices across the enterprise. In addition to reducing complexity, this approach helps firms achieve a balance between better risk management, improvements in service, and reductions in cost.
