EDS Capital Markets Industry Solutions Help Clients Successfully Transform Their Business
Capital valuations of converged capital markets institutions have deteriorated over the past three years mainly driven by global economy shrinkage. Institutions are compelled to transform their operational efficiency in the short term and regenerate their business performance for the long term. EDS is working closely with clients operating in this sector to ensure they implement a successful response to the major challenges they face:
- Establish enterprise wide risk management capabilities that ensure compliance to Basel II and CAD II requirements as well as adjusting processes to comply with increasing regulations from governments including US Patriot Act
- Reduce cost of maintaining and enhancing existing infrastructure
- Streamline transaction processes in order to comply with global straight through processing targets and automate those processes still managed manually. Both initiatives will reduce risk and cost.
