Capital Markets IT is the IT department within the bank focused on solutions related to Capital Markets. This includes Front Office (FO) booking platforms, Risk Management (RM) control and regulatory reporting systems, financial product and contract valuation systems, and much more. It is the department most directly exposed to the bank's financial operations.
MASAI is an ambitious project critical to the Bank's strategic pivot towards data-centric operations. In the past, separate systems maintained their data separately, modeling the same data in incompatible ways and depending on ad-hoc and sometimes brittle data sharing mechanisms, creating a complex web of interdependent systems and no centralized repository of data.
MASAI was initially created to satisfy regulatory requirements set out by the Basel Committee as part of their FRTB capital rules, but quickly became the central focus in the Bank's push towards a more data-centric approach. It is based on Big Data technology, which allows horizontally scalable management of data at and beyond the petabyte scale.
