Delta RDF Implementation on Track to Deliver Data Vendor Feed Plug and Play Functionality, Says Algorithmics’ Orde
Risk management solution vendor Algorithmics’ decision to roll out First Derivatives’ Delta Reference Data Factory as its new core reference data engine (announced last week, see coverage here) was driven by a desire to reduce new client implementation times and to allow for a more plug and play approach to changing existing customers’ data feeds, according to Roger Orde, senior director of Algo Risk Service at Algorithmics. The vendors have been in discussions about a possible rollout for quite some time, around three years in fact, but these discussions only became serious within the last eight to 12 months, as Algorithmics felt the pressure of increasing client numbers on its in-house data management system.

BarCap’s Duncan Elaborates on Increased Regulatory Driven Investment in Risk Management
In line with the marked increase in risk related regulation this year, many financial institutions have been compelled to step up their efforts in the space in order to be able to cope with the deluge of new requirements. Speaking at last week’s FS Club in London, Ed Duncan, global head of regulatory liaison and capital management at Barclays Capital, noted that his own firm has increased its risk resources over the last 18 months in order to deal with the challenges, which include pulling together the relevant risk and reference data from across vertical silos and legacy infrastructure.
