World-Class Risk Management Architecture

In the current economic environment, financial services institutions face a significant challenge in reigning in expenses and increasing revenues while employing more sophisticated risk management analytics. Institutions need both end of day as well as real-time risk analysis that doesn�t sacrifice transaction speed or performance. Yet an increase in market data and regulatory reporting makes it difficult to maintain extremely high performance computing. An agile, flexible network architecture can maximize the efficiency of the computing power across the technology environment, enabling financial services institutions to eliminate bottlenecks and allocate the right resources for the type of processing required, explains Paul Jameson, global director, Financial Services Industry for Cisco and Tony Bishop, CEO, Adaptivity.
