This Financial Insights report looks at the current structures of risk data warehouses within the financial services space ? now that many financial institutions have reevaluated their risk data warehousing needs in light of Basel II, SOX, MiFID, and other regulatory mandates. Internal business operations as well as regulatory requirements have placed a lot of pressure on current data warehousing structures, and this analysis is intended to look at those current pressure points and what impact they will have on the development of tomorrow's risk data warehousing structures.

"Risk data warehousing structures have been under pressure lately as real-time analytics and regulatory initiatives have forced financial institutions to update and change many current structures. New data warehousing technologies and structures are doing a much better job of getting clean data to top-level risk analytic applications." ? Andrew Liegel, senior research analyst, Risk Management.
