As the shockwaves recede from the capital markets crisis, a new shockwave is coming: the current administration’s regulations aimed at creating a better risk-aware culture in capital markets. In a more heavily regulated climate of transparency, how financial institutions ultimately respond will depend upon their ability to detect, analyze, and report on risk. Are you prepared?

Please join Amit Okhandiar of mLogica, Steve Bruggers of MicroStrategy, and Tara Rogers of Sybase for this complimentary breakfast seminar designed specifically for financial services IT professionals. We will discuss how you can harness unprecedented volumes of data for improved risk analysis and decision-making in a climate of increased complexity and more stringent compliance and reporting requirements.

In this 90-minute seminar, you will learn how you can quickly deploy new capabilities for sophisticated modeling, reduced risk exposure, and data-intensive reporting and analysis. You will hear why other financial institutions are looking to Sybase for complex analytics, with performance that is 10 to 100 times faster than traditional solutions, at a highly affordable cost.

Regulators are increasing their power, are you?
