Christian Terp is a partner at IBM Business Consulting Services

Choosing the right architectural solution for Basel II compliance is not only about meeting reporting requirements, but also advancing risk management. Christian Terp from IBM explains that this is why they have included data warehousing in their approach. He discusses how IBM has approached Basel II compliance and argues that this approach is the right way to proceed. He also goes on to explain the importance of the Component Business Model in their model to provide the operational flexibility to allow banks to maximise the benefits of Basel II by combining seamless integration with best of breed business components.
