ROCS Webinar

Overview

Financial services firms are facing constant pressure to modernize their technology stacks due to:

The growing expectations from internal and external customers, particularly with their timeliness of data and level of analytics available
The rapidly evolving markets and the need to respond to volatility and increase profitability
Regulators and their strict demands to meet ongoing regulatory and compliance needs.

Approach

Risk On Cloud with Streaming (ROCS)

Risk On Cloud with Streaming is a data-first modernization approach that avoids a “Big Bang” and leverages streaming architectures on the cloud to produce near-real time calculations and visualizations. Successful Re-orchestration projects require a modern approach to building infrastructure, a detailed business domain knowledge to extract business logic, and a deep understanding of legacy technologies.

ROCS on AWS simplifies the transformation of Risk, Pricing and Valuation Architectures from EOD batch to streaming using re-orchestration.

100% Cloud-based: Leverage the AWS ecosystem to deliver a secure, scalable and dependable risk platform
Analytics Agnostic: Provide flexibility to choose your analytics and market data provider or mix and match
Streaming Enabled: Connect real-time data feeds (Trade, Market, Reference) to the Cloud for processing, distribution and monitoring
Risk Factory Accelerator: AWS Marketplace offering that automatically stands up the risk infrastructure with the ability to run sample trading and risk apps
Structured 3-phase Engagement: Follows AWS’ Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) – Assess, Mobilize, and Migrate

Business Outcomes

Accelerated development of new methodologies, analytics and products
Ease of benchmarking and migration of analytical libraries, proprietary or 3rd party
Single streaming architecture for multiple risk use cases, Real-Time, End-Of-Day, On-Demand
Production quality environments increase the reliability of testing and model calibrations
Pro-active operational intelligence ensuring stability and dependability of risk computation

Why deploy ROCS on AWS + Confluent?

ROCS on AWS simplifies the transformation of Risk, Pricing, and Valuation Architectures from EOD batch to streaming using re-orchestration.
The ability to scale compute resources across Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances provides Risk Managers, Portfolio Managers, and Quants to perform ad-hoc what-if scenario analysis.
In addition, the analysis helps respond to significant market events requiring real-time re-calculation of portfolio exposures.
Suppose you are a business decision-maker or executive. In that case, ROCS on AWS can help you visualize, analyze and investigate your P&L and risk sensitivities across multiple dimensions providing reliable intra-day reporting for your trading desk.
ROCS provides a single streaming architecture for multiple risk use cases. Confluent is the industry’s leading streaming platform.
Confluent Cloud is available on AWS Marketplace, so fit seamlessly into ROCS on AWS.
Confluent Cloud provides a Service Level Agreement that aligns with Mission Critical systems.
