“Software is eating the world” said Netscape founder Marc Andreessen in his Wall Street Journal 2011 op-ed to describe how digital technology has transformed the world of business. We divide the disruption into two stages; efficient pipelines disrupting inefficient pipelines and platforms disrupting pipelines. Most Internet applications during the 1990s involved the creation of highly efficient pipelines—online systems for distributing goods and services that out-competed incumbent industries. Online pipelines tended to have very low marginal costs of distribution—sometimes as low as zero. This allowed them to target and serve large markets with much smaller investment. We are now in stage two where platforms disrupt pipelines. They bring news sources of supply to market, change value consumption by facilitating new forms of consumer behavior, change quality control through crowd sourced curation, and bring new market middlemen by aggregating fragmented markets.
#RegReporting is a tough nut to crack! In his recent blog, Prakash Jalihal writes on why the process has become so complicated and explains how HEXANIKA can streamline Regulatory Reporting for banks using #BigData technology:
Traditionally, data integration has meant compromise. No matter how rapidly data architects and developers could complete a project before its deadline, speed would always come at the expense of quality. On the other hand, if they focused on delivering a quality project, it would generally drag on for months thus exceeding its deadline. Finally, if the teams concentrated on both quality and rapid delivery, the costs would invariably exceed the budget. Regardless of which path you chose, the end result would be less than desirable. This led some experts to revisit the scope of data integration. This write up shall focus on the same issue.
How Big Data helps banks know their customers betterHEXANIKA
Enterprises today mine customer data to ensure maximum success by targeting their products and solutions to the right audience. Let us have a look at how Big Data and Customer Analytics are helping businesses use their customer data for maximum benefits.
High regulatory costs for small and mid sized banksHEXANIKA
Anecdotal evidence from bankers suggests that the cost of complying usually increases with new rules and regulations when large statutory changes are made to financial laws and rules of any country or region[1]. This burden increases significantly when such changes are made especially after a financial crisis. New regulations stemming from the financial crisis has cost the six largest U.S. banks $70.2 billion as of the end of last year[2]. Between the end of 2007 and the end of 2015, regulatory fines rose by more than 100% – or $35.5 billion- according to data from policy-analysis firm Federal Financial Analytics Inc. As per Federal Financial Analytics, the reporting costs come from a mix of requirements that are specific to these banks, e.g. particular capital surcharges that apply to banks with assets over $50 billion but impose the largest cost on the six biggest banks due to their size or risk
Automation is fast becoming a strategic business imperative for banks seeking to innovate whether through internal channels, acquisition or partnership. Implementing integrated automation solutions will enable banks to streamline the very tasks that are holding them back – removing manual intervention and ensuring that simple tasks are handled with speed and agility without error.
The financial industry has seen a sort of technological renaissance in the past couple of years. But this has also lead to a complex scenario where the problem has to be addressed from a global perspective; otherwise there arises the risk of running into an operational and technological chaos.
Some of the advantages of software automation are:
Regulatory Pain Points For Small And Medium Sized BanksHEXANIKA
Community and mid-sized banks are facing added regulatory burden post the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act. This pressure has caused one in four local banks to close down since 2008. Let us review the key pain points that are the reason for small and medium sized banks to feel the regulatory pressure.
Understanding SAR (Suspicious Activity Reporting)HEXANIKA
To successfully identify the parties involved in any suspicious activity or money laundering/fraud processes, timely identification and reporting of the same is crucial. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (‘FinCEN’) has instituted various changes and updates to the requirements to enhance the process.
We will take a look at SAR requirements and challenges for financial institutions and focus on the solutions that can be enacted to stay compliant.
The process of data warehousing is undergoing rapidtransformation, giving rise to various new terminologies, especially due to theshift from the traditional ETL to the new ELT. Forsomeone new to the process, these additional terminologies and abbreviationsmight seem overwhelming, some may even ask, “Why does it matter if the L comesbefore the T?”
The answer lies in the infrastructure and the setup. Here iswhat the fuss is all about, the sequencing of the words and more importantly,why you should be shifting from ETL to ELT.
The story of how data became big starts many years before the current buzz around big data.The history of Big Data as a term may be brief – but many of the foundations it is built on were laid many years ago. Now, let’s look at a detailed account of the major milestones in the history of sizing data volumes in the evolution of the idea of “big data” and observations pertaining to data or information explosion:
FATCA: why is it so difficult even after so many years?HEXANIKA
Under this law, all non-U.S. Foreign Financial Institutions (FFI’s) are required to search their records for U.S. persons and to report the assets and identities of such persons to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Read the detailed report here:
The Volcker Rule: Its Implications and AftereffectsHEXANIKA
The Volcker Rule is named after Paul A. Volcker, chairman of the Federal Reserve during the 1980s and an elder statesman of the financial world. He acted as an advisor for President Obama in 2008 and was instrumental in the passing and creation of the Rule. It aims to prevent large banks from engaging in speculative trading activity with the idea that important banks support the economy by lending to consumers and businesses. We briefly explain the Volcker Rule, the challenges it brings to banks and how they can be addressed:
The Solvency II Directive, along with the Omnibus II Directive that amended it became a law on March 31, 2015. On April 1, 2015 the approval processes began, and after years of delay and negotiations, the Europe-wide capital regime for insurance companies came into effect on January 1, 2016. Insurers will have to comply with new rules and capital requirements of Solvency II across the EU.
Here is a short summary of what Solvency II is and how it’ll impact financial services institutions in the US (most of which are deemed to have fully or partly equivalent rules) along with EU.
A Review of BCBS 239: Helping banks stay compliantHEXANIKA
Although the challenge to comply with BCBS 239 is vital, the scope is immense. Now that the Jan 2016 deadline for the G-SIBs is up, the rule is expected to extend to other financial institutions and banks. The principles will also apply to all key internal risk management models including market, credit, and counterparty risk. Establishing the principle guidelines and putting core capabilities in place has its merits.
The clarity that effective risk data aggregation provides will help banks streamline their businesses, and can allow banks to make better judgments through more accurate risk analysis. Aggregated information across all channels will enable to provide comprehensive support and services to existing customers. The robust data framework also helps banks supervise and anticipate future problems, giving them a clear view for data analysis.
It can lead to gains in efficiency, reduce probability of losses and enhance strategic decision making, ultimate benefiting a bank’s profitability.
Dodd-Frank's Impact on Regulatory ReportingHEXANIKA
We previously analyzed how Dodd-Frank and how the new regulations have impacted large banks as well as midsize and small banks. This time, we will look at how the law meant to address one issue (avoid a financial meltdown similar to 2008) might have created other challenges for banks – the most important one that of regulatory reporting:
Regulatory impact on small and midsize banksHEXANIKA
Recent CCAR and Dodd-Frank Stress Tests have concluded that banks are severely under the lurch due to regulatory compliance issues, small and midsize banks being the most affected. We explain the impact in brief.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Sandbox in Financial Services
1. Sandbox in Financial Services: An ideal
testing platform
On April 14, 2016, the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority), one of the prime regulators in the United
Kingdom, announced that it was preparing to launch a ‘Regulatory Sandbox’1
. It has started accepting
applications from May 9, 2016 and successful applicants will be able to directly deploy their products in
this sandbox for testing purposes. Quick to follow in their heels are regulators from Singapore and
Australia, who are contemplating setting up a sandbox environment of their own.
So what is a sandbox and why is it taking the FinTech and regulatory world by storm? Let’s find out:
What is a Sandbox?
A sandbox is an isolated environment that allows a program to be executed without affecting the
application it is running on2
. It is used by developers to test new code. It acts as a virtual machine in a
controlled environment, hence making sure that the program does not harm or alter any data in the
server or the host system. This allows developers to test their programs before implementation in the
main system in a secure and safe environment.
How will it benefit FinTech startups?
Microsoft and Markit have written to the Treasury Department’s Office of Comptroller (OCC) regarding a
need for the US regulators to bring in an environment similar to the one implemented by the FCA.
Markit asked the OCC whether companies “have appropriate space to breathe, to develop and test
innovative solutions without fear of enforcement action and regulatory fines," in a letter submitted May
31. Microsoft put forth a demand for a sandbox, stressing on a need for a US version of FCA’s FinTech
approach. Law firm Morrison Foerster and Citigroup echoed this demand.3
Some of the benefits of a sandbox for the FinTech and financial services industry are as follows:
Financially viable: In order to encourage innovation, various sandbox providers like FinTech
Sandbox provide free data or subscriptions, which would otherwise add to the financial strain on
startups operating within a limited capital. The environment is also freely made available to
subscribers, saving the additional costs startups might have incurred to deploy virtual machines
before actually implementing their products.

2. Secure testing platform: As quoted by Christopher Woolard, FCA’s Director of Strategy and
Competition, “The sandbox environment will allow startups to test their ideas without
immediately incurring the normal regulatory consequences”. 4
This will allow startups to test
their products and services for proof of concept, and the FCA is providing individual guidance,
rule waivers and modifications and in some cases “no enforcement action letters”. 5
Access to APIs: Various sandbox providers also give access to banking data which helps
organizations test, analyze and visualizes data to help get a real world use case. FinTech sandbox
in particular is giving access to SEC-filed data which includes filings and disclosures. Access to
such APIs is normally restricted by banks and financial institutions and also the regulatory
bodies. 6
The FCA too states that it will offer public data sets provided by private firms to
organizations registered to use the platform.7
