Effective informationJewels of precious information

Buried within customer transaction data are jewels

of business information. Being able to extract and

present useful analysis to executives rapidly and at

acceptable cost is a critical challenge.

Obtaining a consolidated view of customer and deal-

based information from banking systems frequently

involves IT department support. Other demands

on personnel time and the technical difficulties of

exporting the data can introduce delays, which may

reduce the value of the extracted information.

The Abraxsys banking suite offers a self-contained

business intelligence solution, immediately available

to users.

The Abraxsys business intelligence component

provides direct analysis of current transaction data

and delivers very rapid results – and it requires

no technical knowledge to operate. Executives

are presented with timely information at very low

operational cost, enabling fast reactions to new

trends and enhancing business response.

Clarity amid clutter

Gaining clarity from the data trapped in millions of

customer transactions may seem a daunting or even

impossible task. Once built, links to external systems

may be difficult to alter, and changing report timings,

content and presentation involves time and cost.

In these situations, delivering reports to users in a

manner that genuinely solves their business needs

can be a costly exercise.

With a fully integrated business intelligence solution

available within the core product, Abraxsys eliminates

almost all of the technical challenges and costs

associated with analysis and reporting.

Abraxsys business intelligence connects directly

with core banking transaction data, and provides

an easy to use, intuitive interface for authorised

users. Valuable trend analysis, benchmarking,

key performance indicators and much more may

be monitored using browser-based screens with

intelligent information filters. Specific reports can be

delivered straight to executive inboxes.

Easy to use

At the close of each business day, data is

automatically consolidated from the banking systems

to the business intelligence database. In a multi-

branch environment, data may be extracted from

each branch and consolidated in the central database.

The transfer is incremental and intelligent, and runs

overnight when system resources would otherwise

be idle.

Pre-written reports, many of which are provided as

standard within the Abraxsys business intelligence

solution, are generated without user intervention,

ready for review the next morning. Ad-hoc queries

can also run on the stored data, and new reports can

be created for the next run.

The business intelligence database stores all static

and transaction data, and the volume of historic

data held is virtually limitless. The data is summarised

and indexed during overnight processing, making

searches very rapid, despite the enormous wealth of

information.

Simple search and navigation

With external business intelligence systems, the

training curve can be steep. Differing screen layouts,

menus and methods can hinder the transition

between activities. With the underlying data held in

an isolated database, it may not be possible to drill

down from charts generated by external business

intelligence tools back to the banking transactions.

Abraxsys built-in business intelligence offers web-

like search and navigation screens, with the same

terminology as the core banking application.

The familiar layout makes it easy to locate and select

data for inquiry – with very strong user authentication

to control access to authorised data sets only.

Abraxsys business intelligence enables speedy

access to related information such as customer,

account, deal information and associated underlying

accounting entries through embedded links.

Rapid access to accuracy

Cost-effective implementation

Third-party business intelligence tools certainly offer

outstanding functionality and delivery. To make

this possible, data must be extracted, normalised

(transformed) and loaded into a database or

warehouse ready for analysis. The implementation

process requires a very great deal of planning, and

can be a lengthy and costly process.

As an integrated component of the core banking

suite, the Abraxsys business intelligence solution

requires little more than user configuration to enable

immediate productive use.

Reports right out of the box

Pre-built reports, developed in close association with

many banking customers, are available right out of

the box.

The Abraxsys business intelligence solution is not

intended to replace generalist third-party tools

where these are appropriate. For the vast majority of

banking analysis and enquiry, Abraxsys offers highly

specialised and very powerful reporting that answers

– in truly comprehensive fashion – the needs of the

financial community.

Banking-specific BI

Always current dataReliable corporate compliance

Managing corporate data and business intelligence

also concerns compliance officers and executives

responsible for risk management and business

strategy.

Where business intelligence is generated by industry-

standard tools at the corporate level, Abraxsys

provides extensive functionality for data export.

External data from other applications within and

outside the corporation may be incorporated in the

Abraxsys database, which can then be analysed in

an integrated fashion with the banking transactions.

External data might come from remote branches,

geographic and demographic systems, credit scoring

information and a variety of related sources.

The ability of the system to incorporate external

information allows Abraxsys users to gain a more

complete customer picture, based on both banking

and non-banking data.

Information and reporting

Understanding profits, expenses and margins at

multiple levels is critical to business success. Being

able to review operations analyzed by location,

department, team, banking activity, instrument and

a host of other possible slices will offer tremendous

business insight and competitive advantage.

The Abraxsys business intelligence solution contains

a large number of displays and standard reports

designed to enable very close business activity

monitoring. From interest accrual and income analysis

by client, department profit centre and division, to

exposure and position analysis, Abraxsys delivers

accurate and timely performance and profitability

intelligence, based on data that is always current.

For example, FX deals and positions can be revalued

and compared to the previous day’s revaluations to

isolate sensitivity caused by the day’s dealing, spot

rate changes or points fluctuations.

Intelligent Funds Transfer Pricing

Abraxsys enables individual profit centres to be

defined by almost any term or group. Using this

technique, the profitability of a funding department,

such as Treasury, can be compared with the lending

and borrowing transactions from other profit centres.

Any long or short currency position in each profit

centre will automatically be funded using overnight

rates by the funding profit centre. Individual profit

centre trial balances can be produced, which correctly

apportion the cost of funding, thus identifying each

department’s real profitability.

The Abraxsys business intelligence solution provides

a highly flexible, integrated environment that delivers

accurate, timely information of immense business

value – at a fraction of the cost of third-party tools.

Start here!

Abraxsys offers an outstanding solution, offering a

very wide range of customer-focused services from

within a single highly integrated package.

With modular components for corporate finance,

retail banking, treasury and internet banking,

Abraxsys is the ideal starting point for all new and

refurbishment banking projects.
