QuIC Perspectives Series Extended to Advise Risk Managers with Insight from
Industry-Leading Subject Matter Experts
VANCOUVER, CANADA
–April 27, 2009 –QuIC Financial Technologies Inc, a
global solutions provider for risk management, pricing and financial analytics,
today announced the launch of the QuIC Perspective article series, a
communications resource featuring industry thought-leaders and subject matter
experts addressing the most relevant challenges and solutions facing risk
managers today.
In today’s economy where the banking and financial sectors are experiencing
significant fundamental changes and evolving regulatory requirements, risk
managers and risk technology personnel must address increasingly complex
challenges to their risk infrastructure, quickly and effectively. To help banks
address these challenges, the QuIC Perspectives article series, which is
designed as an extension to the company’s seminars, explores timely, practical
issues affecting risk managers. Specifically, each issue of the series focuses
on distilling critical information and expert insight on risk infrastructure,
technology, implementation, or regulatory topics facing risk management
personnel and business decision-makers, helping them to design and develop
impactful risk management strategies during this difficult financial
environment.
“We understand that banks and financial organisations are facing unprecedented
internal and external challenges, with rapidly emerging regulatory requirements
pending,” said Nigel Cairns, President and CEO for QuIC Financial Technologies.
“The immense pressure to act fast, while considering the strategic implications
of managing market and credit risk, have today’s risk managers focused on
understanding their priorities and solutions available in the market. By
leveraging industry thought-leaders and subject matter experts, the QuIC
Perspective article series aims to summarise important issues and outline key
considerations to help customers successfully navigate through these challenging
times."
Featuring key industry thought-leaders and subject matter experts from
specialised risk management disciplines, each issue of QuIC Perspectives follows
an interview format, with top-of-mind big picture topics, complemented by
additional, drilled-down specifics and recommendations. The inaugural issue of
QuIC Perspectives titled “The Road To Reform Report” features Julian Leake of
Deloitte, and is now available for download from www.quic.com.
“We are proud to launch the QuIC Perspective article series as it serves as
another medium for us to actively communicate with the risk management
community,” added Justin Forrest, Executive Vice President of Global Sales for
QuIC. “Our hope is that through industry participation, and contributions from
QuIC experts, QuIC Perspectives will emerge as a trusted source for information
and act as a key communication medium between our colleagues in the risk
management industry."
Issues of QuIC Perspectives will often complement and work in-conjunction
with the QuIC Perspective seminar series, the live, speaker-lead seminars
presented in major financial centres around the globe.
