The IBM Cognos Risk-Adjusted Profitability Performance Blueprint

The IBM Cognos Risk-Adjusted Profitability Performance Blueprint makes integrated risk management and financial planning a reality. The Blueprint allows financial institutions to integrate risk information with an enterprise-wide, distributed profitability management process that provides:

• Integrated risk-adjusted planning and forecasting at the product level, across multiple dimensions with risk measures that include:
• Risk Adjusted Return on Capital (RAROC)
• Economic Capital
• Probability of Default
• Loss Given Default
• Expected Loss
• Activity-based management and costing capabilities for key customer, product and business segments, providing the most accurate, reliable profitability planning and reporting data. This enables:
• Risk-adjusted revenue and expense planning that incorporates activity-based costing methodologies
• Multi-dimensional scenario planning that incorporates activity costs, allowing users to compare the financial impact of several business options and take action on the most profitable course.
• Compatibility with any ABC/M system, due to joint development efforts with partners such as Acorn Systems.
• Multi-dimensional risk management and profitability reporting and analysis. By leveraging the IBM Cognos Risk Cockpit, a risk management reporting and analysis solution, financial institutions can combine the power of the IBM Banking Data Warehouse with IBM Cognos 8 Business Intelligence.

A financial institution that uses the IBM Cognos Risk-Adjusted Profitability Performance Blueprint can plan and forecast at the product level, ensure unmatched accuracy with activity-based cost information, and incorporate risk calculations. This allows the bank to boost profitability through more precise planning and leverage existing technology investments, boosting technology ROI and overall bank ROE/ROA.
