“CRACKING THE CREDIT PORTFOLIO RISK MANAGEMENT CODE
Highlighted by recent issues in the sub-prime mortgage market — and emphasized by business goals aimed at driving profitability — institutions are seeking the ability to more effectively analyze and proactively manage their risk portfolios.
However, providing this type of information access capability to business decision makers can be a challenge. Data is often distributed across product, technology and organizational silos. Seamless exploration and on-the-fly analysis by end users is difficult at best with traditional analytical tools.
With the new IBM/Endeca Risk Insight® solution, organizations can drive significant business value by allowing key decision makers to instantly analyze a complete, accurate, and current analysis of Total Borrower Exposure while iteratively exploring down to the atomic/account level to discover key risk concentrations and identify common obligors.
Join us and hear how Risk Insight® provides a new type of information access that supports thorough, unrestricted, ad-hoc investigation and analysis on top of a unified and up-to-date view of enterprise account information; including how to drive improved risk transparency through dynamic summarization, how to provide unrestricted exploration in a zero-training, interactive application, and how to identify and manage common obligor relationships.
We hope you can join us. ”
