– Risk mitigation & fraud detection
– Customer service & support
– Portfolio valuation
– Compliance-mandated reporting
 But fast access to large volumes of data means
better decisions and increased profitability

12. Fortune 500 online payments processor
Boosting profits through real-time fraud detection
 What the company was after
– Tens of millions of dollars in additional profit by improving fraud detection speed and
accuracy (30 cents of every $100 lost to fraud)
 Before BigMemory
– Adding one new rule to fraud detection algorithm would save $12 million
annually, but performance at scale only allowed 50 rules
– Company failed to meet 800 millisecond SLA for fraud detection
– Impossible to meet SLA with existing architecture
 After BigMemory
– Reduced fraud processing time to less than 500ms
– Thousands of rules added to fraud detection algorithm
– 99.999% completed transactions
12

13. Fortune 100 commercial bank
Meeting SLAs for end-of-day trade reconciliation
 What they were after
– CIO had to meet 4-hour SLA for end-of-day reconciliations
 Before BigMemory
– Unable to process trade reconciliations within 4-hour window
– 240GB of trades, asset prices, etc. kept in slow, disk-bound databases
– End-of-day reconciliation was infamous as the firm’s most unstable and underperforming
application
 After BigMemory
– Consistently meeting 4-hour SLA by improving speed by 3x
– Terracotta BigMemory processing 500GBs of trade reconciliations
– Application went from the firm’s most unstable and underperforming to its most stable
and best performing in 3 months

14. Fortune 20 commercial bank
Delivering collateral automation to 1000s of global clients
 What they were after
– With demand rising for collateral automation (real-time re-pricing, re-allocation), the
business wanted to build a new “virtual global longbox” for real-time views of collateral
positions anywhere in the world
 Before BigMemory
– Disk-bound database bottlenecks made scaling impossible
– Difficult to pull data from many sources for pricing, allocation and asset recall
– Not possible to scale as needed with existing infrastructure
 After BigMemory
– Terracotta Big Memory solution provides real-time access to assets, securities, collateral
across multiple accounts.
– BigMemory keeps 200GB of prices and portfolio data in memory for ultra-fast re-pricing
and allocations
– BigMemory and Quartz allowed the firm to increase volume of collateralized loans and
more effectively complete with competition
