How SAS® Supports Enterprise Stress Testing
A comprehensive solution, focusing on integration, orchestration, workflows and governance.
While stress testing has primarily served as a vehicle for bank supervision, scenario-based analytics is emerging as a valuable tool for capital planning and strategic business management at financial institutions. SAS offers a comprehensive solution for scenario analysis that addresses the entire stress test production cycle and provides the ability to bring risk and finance numbers together into a single view.
Configurable workflows & centralized orchestration
- An embedded workflow engine lets you specify tasks, timelines and approval paths.
- Centralized status monitoring enables you to track progress against plans, provide approvals, and include attachments and comments for each step.
- Centralized scenario management lets you import, export, store and change scenarios easily.
- Our solution includes configurable portfolio segmentation and business evolution plans.
Powerful data management with integrated governance & controls
- Preconfigured data quality rules are mapped to BCBS239 principles.
- A controlled, centralized model library automatically documents all changes to data and facilitates model control by enabling all models to be versioned and searched.
- The solution lets you promote models from development to production, as well as archive previous model versions.
- Security management capabilities protect project data, models, scenarios, hierarchies and configuration.
High-performance, adaptive architecture
- High-performance, in-database/in-memory execution enables timely, on-demand simulations, analysis and decisions.
- The solution scales to the size and complexity of your institution, up to the largest and most complex global enterprises, and is designed to adapt to changing business needs and market requirements.
