Banking Industry Solutions

Large and internationally active banking corporations that comply with the mandatory BASEL norms-currently termed BASEL II-need to constantly improve their internal risk management systems. They do this by continuous monitoring and effectively exploiting the latest in information technology on an ongoing basis to excel in their performance. Several large financial institutions, including leading North American banks, choose Kumaran Systems as their strategic technology partner to design, develop, and support their critical applications.

Business Challenges That You Face

Many banks are planning to implement BASEL II, either voluntarily or due to mandatory regulations. You may be facing these challenges in case your institution still relies on traditional methods of running business:

  • Real-time business environments are continuously evolving in a fast-growing global marketplace.
  • Regulatory requirements are getting more stringent by the day.
  • Volatility of earnings needs to be limited and shareholder value enhanced.
  • Even though loss events are monitored, loss data is not always updated in a loss database.
  • Business data is not consistently captured or entered into the database; neither is the data accessible across the organization.
  • Most systems fail to identify deterioration in credit quality on time.
  • Multiple asset classes and diversified industries prompt for development of independent risk rating methodologies.
  • Maintenance of existing standalone legacy systems is expensive and consolidation of available data into useful information is time-consuming.

Client Speak

“We would however like to highlight one particular project which is a great example of striving for excellence in everything we do. In a post-implementation business partner survey, the Integrated Credit Analysis Process (ICAP) project team achieved a perfect score of 10/10 for delivering results that met expectations. ICAP is a BASEL II compliant application to support the end-to-end credit process for certain types of loans. Diligent planning, establishing open communications and transparency between the project team and the business partners were cited as key success factors.

In the three years that project satisfaction surveys have been conducted, this is the first time a project team has received a perfect score from the sponsor. Congratulations to everyone involved.”
