On January 27, 2009, Adastra hosted an exclusive Risk Management Forum at the King Edward Hotel in Toronto.
Over breakfast, select representatives from Canada's leading financial services institutions discussed how information management can be harnessed to meet the needs of companies coming to terms with the new challenges of the global economy. Perhaps more than at any other time, managing risk while maintaining liquidity and profitability are vital for the health of our financial institutions, and for the economy as a whole.

Darren outlined the importance of risk management, gave a concise analysis of how current woes could have been prevented, and underlined the importance of a responsible risk management regime that will broaden companies' vision, backed up by an experienced Business Intelligence Competency Centre (BICC) team.

The keynote presentation was by Wendy Murphy, Vice President Application Development, ING Canada. Central to ING Canada's success in maintaining its place as the insurance leader in Canada is effective governance and the effective use of its valuable database for monitoring and managing risk. In partnership with Adastra, ING Canada is on the cutting edge of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing initiatives that maximize its competitive advantage.

Representatives from SAP BusinessObjects also presented, and outlined various ways of harnessing the power of risk-related data through a variety of dashboards and core systems.
Adastra would like to thank all attendees for bringing their expertise and experience to the discussion table, and we look forward to exploring this and other issues with you in the future.
