Project: Group Market Risk Lead ETL Consultant
Project Description:
This project is developed to calculate the market Risk for Bank by classification of systems and processes into batches. Customer data that exists on VSAM and DB2 must be made available for real-time searching in varying ways. Real-time updates do occur to all sources on which customer data currently exists. Current requirements dictate that searches might occur currently on Quoted Name, Insured Name, Customer Number, Claim Number, Agency code, Loss of Date, Policy Number and Bond Number Information.
Batches start at predefined batch run time by receiving files from the different Source Systems. The data in the files will be Extracted, Transformed and Loaded to Database tables in the System. From the system, the business for the concerning systems in the batch will get the reports. Based on the generated reports, the Business will be able to identify the risk involved for the concerning systems of the batch. By Analyzing reports at GROUP Level which consists of all systems, the business will estimate the Market risk for the bank.
