End-to-End Solution for MIS/BI & Automated Data Flow to RBI

BI for Banks

Client Project

Bank of India Comprehensive closing returns

The Himachal Pradesh State Cooperative Bank Ltd MIS Implementation and Support

Raichur DCC Bank MIS Implementation and Support

Corporation Bank ADF and XBRL

MIS, BI & Similar Projects done by the same team

To create Central data repository (CDR) adhering to the framework outlined by RBI for automated data flow of returns to RBI.

The CDR should be populated with clean and valid data and should synchronize financial and non-financial data from various source systems of the bank.

Eliminate multiple data version by creating single version of data at any point of time

Provide integrated system with existing Source systems (CBS, Treasury, CIS, HRM, LAPS, etc) and other applications.

The CDR enable the bank to meet requirements for:

• Decision support system• Internal MIS and analytical reports, charts, graphs, etc.• Reporting to external agencies like Ministry of Commerce, SEBI and other regulators

Returns to be submitted in XBRL formats as per taxonomy published by RBI

To have Data and Systems readiness for any future Data-Warehousing Project

Project Objectives

How BI for Banks ADF meets Bank’s Objectives

1

Creating CDR

Data quality

4

Data integration from various source systems deployed in the bank.

Reporting, dashboards and conversion to XBRL format.

This solution is structured in four layers as outlined in the RBI framework to meet all the activities and tasks prescribed for implementing ADF system. It has ready data models key Features being the extensible Data Model, System for Governance, External Data Capture functionality

The solution has data validating algorithms built in ETL and gives reports related to quality of data.

The solution can be easily integrated with data quality tools and provides for strong data governance.

It has ETL routines and mapping from source systems like Finacle, Treasury, Central Accounts department, etc.

Data management platform consists of rich set of transformation for a variety of task, Integration Analytics and Data Quality Transformation

4 We have created 400+ reports in a public sector bank. Hence

the data mapping to the reports are already available. The reporting interface component of the proposed solution

allows to create reports and dashboard with drag and drop facility with a strong metadata management component.

Uploading of data any number of times permitted at various stages like pre-audit, post audit and post MOC.

Scalable, Extensible data model cutting across various Banking domain

Logical & Functional Architecture

CBS & other source systems to Stage Database• All the Required data from CBS and other systems (Source tables) Extracted to the

Stage Database. Configurable frequency to ensure returns periodicity.

Stage Database to CDR• Other set of ETL packages use this Staged Database for transformation, mapping and

cleaning various data elements and loading into CDR from where the reports & returns are generated.

Legacy system data • In case any data required in the CDR is existing in any legacy system which does not

have RDBMS then the data that is collected in Flat files and transfer to CDR database.

Gap data• Data not available in any system is fetched through data entry programs. Which

provides for maker checker facility.

Data Management

Reporting and Alerting

• Enabled as Shared Service• Built-in scale-out

for RS Service Apps

• Cross-farm reporting

• Integrated backup & recovery, ULS logging, PowerShell etc.

• End User Alerting• Defined from

within operational or ad-hoc reports

• Intuitive Alert rules• Self-managed

Alerts •XLS/Word 2007/2010

• Power View• Highly visual

design experience• Rich metadata-

driven interactivity• Presentation-ready

at all times

Increase efficiencyIncrease Proactive Intelligence

Managed Self Service BI – Corporate BI

Empower users

Proactive Intelligence

Self Services Alerting capability makes it trivial for any end user while viewing a report to define rules and thresholds on data and be alerted when they are reached. This transforms a traditional pull mode activity to a push mode activity greatly increasing Information Workers productivity.

SITUATION TODAYNeed for the ability to proactively respond to exceptional data changes or trends.

Data volumes are always increasing leading to data overload.

Each Information Worker needs to monitor data specific to their job.

What XBRL Requires…

Standardized data

Clean and validated data

Timely data

Capturing the granular data

Removing the redundancy in data collected and stored

Automated data processing

RBI’s XBRL Initiative

Key driver for XBRL adoption in India

Member of XBRL India jurisdiction

Started XBRLisation with RCA II in 2008

Migrate to XBRL solution for all returns in phased manner

XBRL via ADF

Hardware Architecture

Brief on Security Architecture

18

The application has a three tier architecture. (Web/App/DB)

Each of the layer Web/App/DB has been divided into zones separated by firewall.

The web layer is in DMZ which will be first layer for all users access.

The App/DB has been put into the MZ separately.

The application level security is through user access levels which is configurable as

per the banks ISSP.

Security features of application:

• Automatic logout of idle user after specified time.

• Minimum password length of 8 characters available.

• User lock after predefined unsuccessful login attempts.

• Force password change after predefined periods.

• System does not accept user id as password.

• Password is not same as old password.
