During recent years, changes in the financial services sector have had a profound impact on the way organizations shape their approach to risk management.

Right now, corporations are facing the difficult challenge of aggressively cutting budgets while supporting technologies needed to fuel growth in the event of an economic upswing. At the same time, they are being asked to focus on practical protection mechanisms, with data and customer security issues, including post-9/11 anti-money laundering initiatives and IT Security, Basel and the post-Enron, Sarbanes Oxley Act at the top of the priority funding agenda.

The critical question: How will the various risk owners across an organization be able to meet their different needs and maintain a balance between shareholder value and risk protection?

There are three key drivers affecting the need for converged data and risk management:

1. Improved transparency and reconcilement
2. Global consistency of information and data standards
3. More pragmatic capture of all risk elements
