The risk reporting environment for banks has changed. Regulatory imperatives that were largely driven by the financial crisis of 2007� such as Dodd-Frank, Principles for Effective Risk Data Aggregation and Risk Reporting (BCBS 239) by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) and others�are impacting banks around the globe.

Data is critical to the entertainment industry and not taking advantage of it can keep you from creating great experiences and delivering the right content to partners. And, more than that, it can make it hard for you to optimize operations, get insight into the content�s value and stay ahead of the many changes in how content is created, consumed and monetized.
