From the publisher website or publicity Overview SunGard Adaptiv builds upon the proven functionality of a range of existing trading and risk services. It is the new solution name covering functionality from Panorama, Credient, Infinity, Opus and Kronos. Retaining all existing functionality whilst providing a range of additional benefits to end users, SunGard Adaptiv extends our focus upon the highest levels of customer satisfaction. The challenges facing financial institutions mean that the ability to be adaptable is a core requirement of any solution. Key to this is the ability to implement modular, scalable applications when the business requires it, putting the customer in control of the strategy for technology implementations. SunGard Adaptiv is a trading and risk management solution available on a single technology framework, designed to enable buy- and sell-side institutions to implement technology tailored to their specific needs. The solution can be configured to provide:
Adaptiv addresses market requirements for rationalising IT systems by providing a comprehensive portfolio of unified modules that can be mixed and matched in accordance with the precise business requirements. These modules are managed and delivered on a single functional technology platform, providing one consolidated solution for all trading and risk management needs. Adaptiv allows your organisation to save in several areas, through the technology being adopted, and through the savings associated with implementing a comprehensive, cost effective and efficient risk management, trading and back office solution. Build on our experience and success Based on the market success of several SunGard trading and risk solutions, Adaptiv is the product of a continuous and substantial investment in research and development, in conjunction with the input of a wide variety of clients worldwide. It is supported by a dedicated global team, ensuring customer satisfaction from implementation through to ongoing support, with the full backing of a successful global company with local expertise. Modularity and flexibility for a tailored solution In a rapidly evolving business environment, financial institutions are continuously challenged to keep pace with change. Adaptiv's platform is highly modular, flexible, configurable and extensible, enabling a rapid response to new business opportunities whilst allowing the realisation of economies of scale in software deployment. Adaptiv's modular, extensible architecture ensures the solution is scalable, cost effective and streamlined. Your business invests in only what is required, but is able to add additional modules/users to the solution at a later date knowing that there will be no costly integration or upgrade issues. For example, you can implement just the modules relevant to your needs (such as credit risk, but not market risk), and can expand the system at a later stage if needed. This could be through the addition of new modules, or scaling the solution with additional servers to support more users. Either way, Adaptiv is ideally placed to grow with your business. Gain operational efficiencies through straight-through processing Adaptiv offers your organisation a thoroughly tested solution for cost-effective and efficient straight-through processing (STP), whether you use some or all of its components. Adaptiv's consolidated front-to-back solution is the bedrock for the highest level of STP environments. This STP environment improves your institution's efficiency by lowering operating costs and improving throughput. Monitor and manage risk across the enterprise Assessing risk for an asset or portfolio is an important measure for your organisation to track. Equally important, through its ability to provide enterprise-wide market and credit risk management, Adaptiv allows you to solve a greater challenge: to accurately, consistently and continuously assess risk across the entire organisation. Adaptiv is scalable to multiple inter-connected centres worldwide, enabling both local and enterprise-wide risk consolidation. Crucially, Adaptiv's ability to provide enterprise-wide market and credit risk management on one platform allows your organisation to benefit from the consistency this brings in the utilisation of a single infrastructure and a single database. Unified trading and risk management Adaptiv supports the full range of trading functions, including trade capture, portfolio analytics, operation support and control, back office and accounting activities, along with comprehensive market and credit risk management. Its modular nature enables your organisation to meet its trading and risk management requirements on one platform, neutralising integration effort and costs, whilst realising the benefits that a fully integrated, scalable solution can provide. Accurate results, timely delivery Accurate, timely and reliable information is vital in both trading and risk management. Adaptiv provides analytics in real-time, allowing your organisation to react to market events when you need it, rather than after the event. Coverage across a full range of asset classes ensures it can meet the requirements of even the most diversified trading operations. Rather than being rigidly tied to an inflexible system, Adaptiv allows you to make choices about how you receive information. For example, analytical tools allow you to choose between accuracy and performance, such as fast approximations in real-time, or more accurate overnight batch runs. Meeting regulatory requirements Adaptiv recognises the importance of ensuring that your organisation is in a position to meet current and future regulatory requirements, such as those imposed by Basel II, IAS 39 and FAS 133. A key tenet of the Basel Accord is the focus on a unified risk infrastructure for market, credit and operational risk management that supports data collection and consolidation. Adaptiv enables clients to meet this requirement by leveraging their existing infrastructure where required and adding new risk components as needed. Breadth and depth in one cross-asset solution Through its modularity, the choice is with your organisation as to how Adaptiv is utilised. Its cross-asset coverage and ability to cover trading, risk management and straight-through processing requirements ensure that Adaptiv provides a single solution for your trading and risk needs. In addition, the depth of coverage ensures that individual modules can be used to complement and enhance existing implementations. Customisable through a version safe, open architecture The ability to customise and configure the solution (whether by working with SunGard or utilising the customisation tools) ensures that Adaptiv provides the closest possible fit to user requirements. The customisation tools also ensure that any changes are version safe. Greater visibility through advanced reporting tools Recognising the importance of distributing trading and risk management data both internally and externally to clients, Adaptiv provides a full range of customisable and actionable reporting tools. Whether providing reports to senior management, or providing your customers with a point of entry to their consolidated financial activities, Adaptiv can deliver knowledge through its web based reporting tools to the exact place it is needed in a timely manner. ASP availability for reduced cost of ownership Utilising SunGard's proven track record in hosting solutions, Adaptiv can be hosted at SunGard hosting facilities, delivered within an Application Service Provider (ASP) framework governed by a Service Level Agreement, thereby reducing implementation risk and the total cost of ownership. Alternatively, it can be hosted on your premises, or can be licensed so that your organisation can manage it internally. Through resilient, customer tailored ASP delivery, Adaptiv can assist in controlling IT spending through a consolidation of operations into one location, and through the benefits associated with outsourcing. Ease of integration For any asset type or derivative you hold, Adaptiv is powerful enough to be the central tool and data repository, and flexible enough to complement and integrate with other specialised systems you may already use. Through the core use of Extensible Markup Language (XML) for data definition, the utilisation of an established industry standard reduces integration overheads with legacy systems. |
