MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Infinity, a SunGard
company, today announced the upcoming release of Panorama Net+, the Intranet
risk management reporting module of Infinity's Panorama. Panorama is a suite
of applications for market, credit and operational risk management. Infinity
is a leading provider of enterprise applications for financial trading, risk
management and operations.
Panorama Net+ offers an alternative to the manual distribution of
hard-copy risk reports. With Panorama Net+, users who need risk information
have easy access to it without having to install and operate a complete
Panorama implementation. For mobile and remote Panorama users, Panorama Net+
offers a convenient way to obtain risk information.
Octavio Marenzi, research director, Meridien Research, commented, "By
using browser technologies such as Panorama Net+, a firm can create an
environment where risk management becomes an integral part of day-to-day
operations -- in a way that would be extremely costly to do with other
technologies. We estimate that over the course of the next year, browser
delivery of risk management information over the Intranet will become a
standard within the industry."
Marenzi added: "Many financial organizations have implemented firmwide
risk management systems in response to regulatory reporting pressures and use
their systems simply to generate the required reports. However, using risk
analytics to manage the firm's portfolio effectively requires giving traders,
controllers and managers in all the firm's trading locations access to the
risk management systems. Intranets will act as a facilitator in this process,
and will allow those firms that take advantage of the technology the ability
to manage their capital more effectively."
Today's announcement supports Infinity's ACE (Authorize/Control/Evaluate)
risk management approach. ACE is based on the principle that effective risk
management is not about central control, but about optimizing risk/return
characteristics in each business unit as well as for the total business.
Convenience and Flexibility
Panorama Net+ is targeted to sales staff in remote branches who need
access to centrally-calculated risk analysis; to desk or senior managers with
portfolio responsibilities who want to track their positions when absent from
the office; and to senior managers or traders who need access to configured
real-time risk information but who do not need the power of a fully-functional
risk management system.
Key features of Panorama Net+ include:
* Ability to distribute real-time portfolio analysis from Panorama over
local or wide area networks;
* Incremental updates and timed recalculations;
* Information presented in an intuitive, graphical format, updated in
real-time;
* Publication of Panorama sessions to a wide area network via one Panorama
Net+ Server;
* Automatic start and restart for continuous availability.
How It Works
A user logs on to the Panorama Net+ Server, which is password-protected.
On first logon, the user downloads the Panorama Net+ ActiveX control. The user
can then select the Panorama data source, portfolio, date, result type and
analytic (for example, the parametric value-at-risk of a portfolio broken down
by trader).
Availability
Panorama Net+ will be released in August. A demonstration version is
accessible now on the Infinity Web site
