Purpose-Built Basel Engine – not a clumsy module which bolts onto your ALM or Limits Engine; not a loose framework which requires you to supply thousands of Business Rules.

Precision Data Model – captures every aspect of data required for 100% compliance
-
Data Snapshots: Each collection of data to be measured is stored separately in our integrated data model (exempli gratia, End-of-Month August 2007 is separate from End-of-Month September 2007) The AUG07 data set can be processed any number of times against any number of Regulators by simply selecting the Snapshot and a Regulator and clicking ‘Launch’! This is tremendously valuable for your testing resources who can share one instance of hardware/software but keep their data completely separate.
