Semantic Web-based Integration Technology

Financial institutions use the Metatomix mtx ERI Platform to unify disparate information systems, achieve real-time integration, and enable information correlation and analysis for improved, precise decision making.

Financial services providers (FSPs) seek comprehensive solutions to monitor and aggressively manage enterprise risks, such as operational risk, anti-money laundering, and regulatory compliance. These solutions must be able to quickly identify, alert, and automatically respond to events that could adversely affect the business. Solutions lacking the ability to identify the business impact of events place FSPs at risk.

Metatomix provides the ideal technology platform for integrating heterogeneous environments, correlating relevant events and data, and quickly and cost-effectively automating system functionality and response. FSPs are able to intelligently correlate thousands of network events in real-time to determine the potential business impact of each event. Utilizing existing distributed, heterogeneous IT environments, the Metatomix mtx ERI Platform provides a unified view of all existing data, information, and IT infrastructure assets to enable real-time enterprise-wide risk management solutions. These resulting solutions maximize utilization of enterprise-wide information to provide dramatic improvements in efficiency.

Metatomix solutions provide the following business benefits for risk management:

Operational Risk Management: provides the ability to assess business impact associated with real-time event streams coming from a multitude of heterogeneous sources, as well as to implement an agile computing environment capable of dynamically responding to the computing demands of the business.

Anti-Money Laundering: enables "in-flight" detection and correlation of unusual transactional patterns or cash transfers that indicate fraudulent activity, from a virtually any structured or unstructured networked data source.

Regulatory Compliance: helps financial services organizations see, report, and act upon all data - in real-time, in order to comply with Swiss Federal Banking Commission regulations, the USA PATRIOT Act, Sarbanes-Oxley, and others.
