Download New White Paper from A-Team Group and Sybase

The lack of a single, holistic view of enterprise risk among financial institutions has been identified as a key factor in the ongoing financial crisis. With data organized along business lines – largely on a silo basis – risk managers have been merely measuring the risk of firms’ vertical operations, rather than truly managing it. The result has been a lack of real information on holdings, exposures and counterparties, and an incomplete view of enterprise risk.

Industry practitioners expect regulators to impose a more stringent regime upon the financial services industry in the wake of recent events. Meanwhile, risk managers are struggling to establish a view of group-level risk. It’s becoming clear to executives that that a truly enterprise-wide approach to risk management must be underpinned by a consistent, managed approach to data.

The need to establish a standard platform that addresses the data management challenge an enterprise approach to risk requires, is now being recognized by financial institutions as a critical element as they review their risk operations. This Briefing, produced by A-Team Group on behalf of Sybase, gives some insight into issues surrounding the creation of a standard enterprise-wide data architecture and offers guidance on how a risk ecosystem can be achieved.
