SunGard’s Ambit Risk & Performance application has been voted as the number one asset and liability management (ALM) technolgy for the second straight year in Risk magazine’s annual technology rankings. SunGard’s Ambit application also scored highly in several other categories, including integrated market and credit risk management, credit risk management, and risk management – Basel II and International Accounting Standards (IAS) compliance.
The Risk rankings, which were compiled from a poll of over 2,500 financial institutions worldwide, are regarded as one of the industry’s most prestigious rankings. The introduction of ALM as a dedicated category in 2007 reflects a growing view of ALM as an integral part of risk management. Participants in the survey were asked to base their votes on functionality, usability, performance, return on investment and reliability.
“Being recognized as the category leader is testimony to our customers’ satisfaction and our ability to meet their diverse needs, as well as our continued dedication and expertise,” says Andreas Hug, group vice president for SunGard’s Ambit Risk & Performance business unit. “By taking a holistic approach to risk and performance, the Ambit solution is helping to revolutionize enterprise risk management.
