Basel III is coming – and with it, a host of new demands for banks around capital and liquidity requirements. While implementation has recently been extended till 2019, banks still need to act now to ensure they’re ready to meet the new compliance regime. Equally importantly, now is the time to adapt your operating strategy to ensure that the additional demands don’t damage profitability.

One particular area of concern is risk management. Basel III will mean that banks need a unified view on risk across their entire business to underpin all kinds of investment decisions. But historically, few banks have operated in such a unified way. So how can you gain that single picture of current risk exposure, and provide that information in a relevant way to traders, analysts and senior managers – quickly and cost-effectively?

This free webinar gives you an outstanding insight into what the requirements are, how some of your peers are addressing them and how Oracle Financial Services can help you consolidate analytical silos to enable unified risk management.

Join Greg Clemens of Oracle Financial Services and Capgemini’s Varun Agarwal as they discuss the industry’s concerns around Basel III and how they can be addressed.

B2B marketers often feel as though they are following their B2C colleagues in terms of marketing innovation, branding and social media. They feel that their world is very different.

From strategy and segmentation to content and measurement, we will explore what B2B marketers can learn from the successes in some of the best performing B2C companies and cover the following areas:
- Setting an appropriate strategy and objectives

Integrated marketing isn't just about bringing together the various marketing disciplines: the need to maximise revenue growth means that B2B-focused companies must also closely align their marketing and sales functions. Unfortunately, there are still far too many dangerous disconnects between the messages propagated by marketing organisations and the conversations their sales people are actually having with their prospects. Bob Apollo of Inflexion-Point uncovers the obstacles and offers effective real-world remedies.

This presentation will appeal to any marketing leader who is determined to do a better job of sales enablement - and any sales leader who is determined to collaborate more effectively with their colleagues in marketing.
