-- "Enterprise limits and collateral management is of paramount importance for successful credit risk management at banks, and even more crucial given the ongoing financial market turmoil. Having excellent visibility of their client accounts would minimize defaults and help thaw out the liquidity freeze by increasing banks' confidence in lending," said Li-May Chew, CFA, Senior Research Manager, Asia/Pacific Risk Management Advisory Service from Financial Insights (an IDC company). "Most vendors offer limits management within their repository of risk offerings, but often times, these functionalities are not principal capabilities but incorporated into broader credit risk offerings. Oracle's offering of this SOA-based application can centralize exposure management across the financial institutions' product offerings and assist them in making better-informed credit decisions. Such a system that is integrated into a comprehensive business process framework would allow for easy deployment in various types of institutions with different process flows and requirements."
-- "Banks can no longer afford to silo information in multiple repositories and aggregate that data through some nightly batch process. Day old data is no longer sufficient for an effective risk management practice," said Adam D. Honore, Senior Analyst, Aite Group. "Further, banks need to be building a framework that allows some agility in being able to adopt new data sources and incorporate as much relevant information as possible, as quickly as possible, into their client and counterparty management."
-- "Significant losses and evolving regulatory controls are forcing financial institutions to revisit exposure management processes for their portfolios and adopt best practices that help avoid overexposure to specific business segments," said NRK Raman, Managing Director and CEO, Oracle Financial Services Software. "Oracle FLEXCUBE Enterprise Limits and Collateral Management is a comprehensive, standards-based solution that enables banks to centralize their processes as well as monitor, control and report their exposure to key stakeholders and regulators. To meet the needs of customers, the application is designed to co-exist with a bank's current application environment to minimize the resources and costs associated with getting these processes streamlined."
