Real-time Risk and P&L Aggregation

TopOffice serves as a middle-office repository, delivering consistent risk analyses and P&L information across multiple asset classes and instrument types. It represents and models all data – trade, market, reference – from disparate front-office systems and data sources.

Use TopOffice to identify and monitor diverse risk and P&L information for credit derivatives, equity derivatives, fixed-income, FX and FX options, interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange/money markets, structured products, hybrids and plain “vanilla” instruments.

Consistent and universal real-time Risk Measurement

TopOffice provides a “future proof” system to run profitability measures, VaR measures, duration risk, interest rate risk, and sensitivity/scenario analyses across all portfolios. Its technology allows you to introduce new or bespoke risk measures and scenarios, and to integrate proprietary and third-party pricing libraries to price and value new products using the most appropriate pricing models.

The system utilizes distributed and in-memory processing for fast computation of the most complex risk measures across portfolios consisting of multiple asset classes.

Daily Assessments of Refinancing Structure / Liquidity and Funding Needs

Manage liquidity risk and interest rate risk across all portfolios - banking, trading, structured - on a daily basis.

Sophisticated real-time reporting to dirve Trading and Hedging Strategies

Deliver real-time, interactive risk reporting across all portfolios, trading operations, subsidiaries and geographies. TopOffice allows you to generate dashboard reports to achieve fast and meaningful insights into the reporting results.

The interactive, visual capabilities of the dashboard reports allow you to identify trends and unanticipated relationships in data with unprecedented speed and adaptability.

Rapid Innovation and Integration

TopOffice allows you to rapidly develop and deploy innovative middle- and front-office solutions.

TopOffice provides a highly flexible framework comprising a set of fully supported, packaged objects that can be used to build a solution to meet your specific requirements.
Using standards-based (J2EE and .NET) development environments, TopOffice provides the infrastructure and tools you need to deploy new business functionality quickly. It includes the components, tools, and services infrastructure for building and enhancing strategic applications, so developers can easily build sophisticated new components via a plug-and-play approach.
TopOffice applications can be deployed via Internet Explorer or Swing. Operating systems supported include Sun Solaris and Windows NT. The TopOffice framework makes use of the following third-party software packages: Oracle, Sun, JDK, TIBCO Rendezvous, BEA Weblogic.
To integrate TopOffice applications with your infrastructure, we use TopOffice Interpret - a tool dedicated to the mapping, integration and reconciliation of financial data. Integrating systems often accounts for up to 80% of project effort when several systems are involved. The use of TopOffice Interpret typically doubles productivity when compared to traditional approaches.
