TIBCO Spotfire for Financial Services

Spotfire Analytics is well-suited to addressing your risk management-related business challenges. By bringing cutting-edge
statistical functionality to both the analyst and consumer of data, Spotfire makes risk data more relevant and actionable to the
entire organization.
New LeafThe risk industry has never been short of models and smart people. What has been found lacking are timely insights into risk-based metrics and a universal understanding of risk measures’ impact to the organization, be it capital, losses from markets, credit defaults, credit concentrations, or liquidity. The fast changing and unpredictable nature of risk drivers requires the organization to be acutely aware of all material risks, and to nimbly respond to shifts in key performance metrics resulting from these risk drivers. One could also say that the punishment for being slow and the reward for being quick in understanding risk and recognizing opportunities is greater than ever.

In the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008-09, both rating agencies and regulators have been closely scrutinizing capital levels, methodological transparency, and disclosures. Simultaneously, strategic imperatives are such that the pressure to improve profitability, while avoiding risks, has become relentless. We expect this overall regulatory and market-forces trend to only intensify.

Spotfire Analytics provides a best-of-breed platform that combines statistical abilities with highly intuitive ways to look at data, both inputs and outputs. A business user can easily create an analytic workflow that seamlessly leverages sophisticated models and answers specific business questions. Once done, the analyst can easily publish the workflow to a larger user base within the enterprise. This paradigm of combining modeling, ad-hoc analysis, and a wider distribution, addresses the core ideal at financial institutions everywhere - that everyone in the organization be risk-aware.
