Current market or industry situation

Financial Institutions are focused on profitable growth by selling more products and services to the existing customer base to generate higher revenues.

Banks and Financial Markets firms also want to bring new products, services and bundles to market faster.

As the economy recovers, banks will need to improve their industry’s health and identify new business niches, customized services and innovative strategies to foster long-term growth. This will involve finding new, sustainable sources of revenue, while raising operational efficiency and developing a more astute risk strategy.

Banks must focus on raising capital, improving asset quality, and increasing profits.

Banks will look to find new ways to grow revenue, while managing risk:

Redefining their business models via long-term savings initiatives in IT, shared services and front office/back office integration in order to enable lower cost structures

Specializing in areas in which they are strong, whether it be products, distribution channels or specific markets; and partnering with other banks to reach new markets

Segmenting clients by what they value and marketing to their unique needs

Reforming the risk management culture by replacing siloed implementations with an integrated, enterprise-wide risk management framework

We understand the critical challenges in the financial markets today:

LOB Pains: Inability to maintain a single customer, account and product view across all channels Inability to support customer-centric initiatives & consistent customer experience Inability to integrate customer or product information across business units (M&A) or product lines

(bundles) Inability to gain insight to effectively market relevant offers to clients

IT Pains Inability to provide ‘single view’ of master data to business and applications and do so quickly Inflexible systems, lack of trusted information and poor analytical tools and reports hamper IT’s ability to

respond to business requests Inability to showcase ‘SOA’ solutions and prove value to business users

Client is facing regulatory scrutiny and data integrity concerns of reporting integrated data across aging legacy systems

A comprehensive data environment that supports financial reporting across multiple dimensions for compliance and analytic capabilities for a host of regulatory needs

Need for robust business controls to ensure integrity of financial process

A comprehensive finance infrastructure to collect high value subsidiaries and affiliates to a single financial system to ensure proper business controls

Need for reconciliation of multiple and complex data supply chains at various levels of financial detail. More than 7000 balance sheet reconciliation of nearly than 3000 are manual

An single supply chain for financial data integrated across all the source systems including subsidiaries with multi- dimensional financial aggregates

Accounting logic embedded in each of the 97 source systems resulting in inflexibility and high cost of ensuring consistency of accounting rules and meeting changing reporting requirements

Consolidated accounting logic in a central rules engine enabling flexibility and efficiency to manage changing financial reporting needs

Opaque financial date environment precludes traceability, diminishing value of financial processes and key metric insights

Integrated instrument level data repository providing drill down from summary level financial results to granular instrument level balances creating true financial transparency

Lack of accurate customer and product level profitability analysis to enable decision making for improving market share and book of business

Leverage high quality financial data to customer and product profitability analysis increasing confidence and accelerated decision making, while at the same time reducing data gathering and analysis cost

IBM will apply our key tenets to successful implementation

Key Tenet Client Alignment Benefit to Client

Flexible Integration Architecture

ICDW will be implemented on a Flexible Integration Architecture that will allow each LOB to build their operational and analytical capabilities without impacting other LOB data structures or containers, but still ensuring adherence to a single Logical Model and designate key architecture guiding principles

Agile Development Methodology

All ICDW initiatives will adopt a very rapid Agile and prototyping methodology that will deliver smaller but faster functionality to business through a very iterative process

Common Re-Usable Components

A common set of re-usable components or tools will be created that will assist each LOB leverage some of the key core functionality like audit log, controls etc thereby reducing duplication of effort

Support Services Some of the key functions will be performed by a central organization to ensure adherence to proper design principles and operational process (i.e. Architecture, Project Management, Release Management, Infrastructure & Operation Services)

Parallel Factory-Based Delivery Model

The projects will be delivered through a Factory (breaking down a process into small manageable chunks into independent and cost effective manner) based delivery model that will enable multiple projects to run in parallel with very limited interdependencies

Business Analytics Factory Model

A critical measure of success for every engagement is how we interact with the client on adherence to our joint standards, and how we transfer intellectual capital. At the beginning of every engagement we work with and gain agreement on a joint project/program interaction model on how,

who, and when we interact in the systems development lifecycle.
