As part of the fasterCITY series, 2 July 2007 saw industry practitioners from the financial services industry come together to discuss data, analytics and risk management in the context of booming data volumes and increased regulation.
Via keynote speakers and panellists, the session covered many key trends from high performance analysis of substantial data sets, through to market risk in the front office. It also demonstrated that technology has an integral part to play not only in facilitating the effective measurement of risk but also, in the case of operational risk, being part of the risk itself.

Introduction

Nigel Woodward - Financial Services Director, Intel

During these sessions we will investigate what the market is looking for and how technologies are aligning to meet the escalating demands of increased processing power.
