Visibility
Itsumo’s offers solutions that leverage executive dashboard/portal and a global single view capability which answers the need of senior managers. Operational risk, credit risk, market risk, compliance and profitability analysis all require a homogeneous view of data. Itsumo’s technology allows interested parties to see information across multiple product lines, business units, geographies and systems.

Agility
Management needs to react quickly and confidently to changing business opportunities. The agility of the enterprise software determines the agility of the enterprise.

A material obstacle to visibility and agility is semantic confusion in Capital Markets and Treasury operations that are normally supported a complicated matrix of commercial options including packaged software, outsourcing, ASP, in-house custom build and external custom build.

Itsumo’s Capital Markets Center of Excellence is based upon an expansive matrix of skill sets operating in tangent with a deep domain library of prefabricated IT frameworks. Itsumo’s Capital Markets Systems methodology overcomes internal systems barriers and enables greater visibility and agility through:

• A common data model across business lines.
• A metadata repository.
• A library of proven end user application components.
• A transaction development tool for rapidly building new components.

The Capital Markets Systems Framework enables three strategies:

• Composite applications. Similar to IT rationalization, most new functionality is    based on a different combination of functionality that already exists. The ability    to create composite applications dramatically speeds up time to market for    new systems. This is only possible with a common data model and    framework.
• Analytic and front-end systems. Itsumo works with leading ISVs that offer    technologies which allow for the separation of operational systems from    analytic front-end systems while allowing both to use a common data    model/repository with data harmonization interfaces.
• Consolidation of core processing systems. As the cost and risk of maintaining    multiple overlapping legacy system starts to impact competitiveness, Itsumo    can create a rationalized common framework that significantly reduces the    risk, cost and time involved with these major consolidation projects.
