"IBM-sponsored Operational Risk Roundtable"
Euromoney.com, October 18, 2001.

Banks must wake up to operational risk. They will need three years' of operational risk-related data in order to comply with the new Basel regulations, which come into force in January 2005. If they can't measure and manage their exposure to risks ranging from fraud to a failed website, they are soon going to come unstuck.

Find out what banks, regulators, lawyers and ratings agencies say on the topic in Euromoney.com's video roundtable, which runs in conjunction with IBM.

The roundtable panel included Reto Tuffli, CEO, Centerprise.

Key Tuffli Quotes:

"The operational risk challenge is large for the simple reason that you are not just focused on one particular data type, i.e. risk. It touches on every single piece of data type in the enterprise if you want to do it in a comprehensive way."

"Our company is coming out with a new offering and is introducing an enterprise system approach for capital markets. This is not a new concept, it exists in the manufacturing world, but it's not something that you see in the capital markets. We see a lot of tie-ins to operational risk simply because operational risk is a catalyst for focusing on the processes and process management. People who focus on it strategically will look at it far beyond just a regulatory requirement."
