Costs

North American Client POC

I need better BI

I need daily LST

I need more data granularity

I need additional analytics

I need clearer data lineage

IBM has succeeded in helping clients to dramatically improve ALM/LR analysis with Big Data technology. Below are actual results from a client pilot project which analyzed over 15 times more data in less than one-fifth the previous runtime

Data granularity 350K pooled positionsProcessed to reduce granularity from 6M source positions

6M source positions

Interactivity with reporting results

Limited drill-downLiquidity risk reporting generated as part of the overall batch run is limited, where drill down into the underlying data requires other interfaces

Full drill-down to sourceReporting generated supports drill down and slice and dice – all the way down to interpreting Algo One RiskWatch inputs, outputs and log files

“What-if” Analysis Full re-run requiredAdding new “What-if” stress scenarios requires a re-run of the batch process

Incremental updatesNew “What-if” stress scenarios can be computed by the user adding additional scenarios to the scenario table

Runtime 2 hours with 25 cores to generate the cash flows for liquidity stress testing

20 minuteswith 96 cores from the full cluster
