Responding to tighter regulations with swift insights on market exposure

Ranked as one of the world’s largest banks, our client was looking to provide a consolidated global view of their market and credit risk to both management and regulators alike.

The challenge

While preparing for the introduction of Basel III, our client needed to ensure were ready to provide regulators with information on their market exposure at any given time. They were already using a large number of monitoring tools, however, since these were distributed across their technology environment, they were unable to obtain a single view of key metrics.  Data was also collected and held in silos leading to reporting inconsistencies.

Existing monitoring tools required the vendor to make certain updates and our client found themselves dependent on third parties, which presented additional risk when required to provide immediate answers on current market exposure.


What we did

We provided a framework for capturing system data across credit and market risk areas and created a central hub into which teams are able to feed data.  This enabled our client to provide a unified view of system performance across both areas.

Additional views on system data were created to ensure that our client was also able to track key metrics to provide visibility of performance against operational SLAs.


The results

Geneos replaced seven existing monitoring tools, reducing technology complexity and the number of potential points of failure across the business.  This meaningful view across vast amounts of data, enables technology teams to understand their environment easily and actively solve problems before they impact their business.

Importantly, with this single solution, our client is now able to provide regulators with clear reports on their risk exposure quickly and accurately.
