IT&e's RAZOR goes live with RBC
IT&e Limited (ASX code: "ITE" AIM: "ITEL"), a leading provider of software
solutions to the global financial services market, is pleased to announce that
Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) has implemented IT&e's RAZOR risk management solution
for derivatives credit risk management. Additionally, RBC has commenced the
next phase of its trading risk oversight infrastructure renewal project which
will provide an integrated view of its market and counterparty credit risks.
Rolled out globally to measure and manage potential credit exposure and economic
capital, RBC can now use RAZOR to obtain a more accurate view of credit exposure
and limit utilization in its trading book. RAZOR's extensive drill down and
what-if functionality provides the transparency required to manage derivatives
credit risk proactively in today's turbulent markets.
Herve Leung, Head of RBC Group Risk Management's Enterprise Market Risk,
commented, "As the credit trading market develops, RBC's vision is to
pro-actively manage its counterparty credit and market risks within a single
trading management framework, and we are now embarking on the next half of this
project to migrate our existing market risk oversight platform into the RAZOR
infrastructure."
John Groetch, COO of IT&e in North America noted: "We are very pleased to add a
bank as prestigious as RBC to the growing list of live RAZOR clients. This was
an ambitious project involving high transaction volumes, multiple locations,
sophisticated products, and advanced analytics. Our partnership approach to
implementing the RAZOR solution has been very successful, and we look forward to
working together to integrate market risk functionality in the next project
phase."
Malcolm Warne, Head of IT&e's Risk Practice; added "The success of this project
has enabled RBC to gain the benefits of simulation-based, intra-day credit risk
management within a project timeframe of less than 12 months."
