Italy’s Banca Progetto Selects Wolters Kluwer to Provide Integrated Risk and Finance Software Solution

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Banca Progetto, a fast-growing Italian digital and consumer credit bank, also operating in the credit market for small and medium-sized enterprises, has selected an integrated software solution from Wolters Kluwer to manage its risk and finance obligations. The bank will specifically use software modules from the company’s Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) division, as well as the CCH® Tagetik Corporate Performance Management (CPM) software offered by Wolters Kluwer’s Tax & Accounting (TAA) division.

Banca Progetto will specifically use Wolters Kluwer’s OneSumX for Risk Management module which empowers financial services firms to deliver processes, best practices, regulatory intelligence, and the analytics required of businesses in a highly regulated industry. OneSumX for Risk Management, offered by Wolters Kluwer GRC, not only helps achieve regulatory compliance, but delivers superior business value, seamlessly combining financial risk management with regulatory analytics across multiple risk classes. The OneSumX for Asset & Liability Management (ALM) component that will be used by the bank is a centralized data repository combining contract data, balance sheet structures, counterparty and market data.

Wolters Kluwer TAA, meanwhile, will provide the bank with access to the CCH® Tagetik CPM expert solution to capitalize on advanced, automated budgeting, planning and forecasting capabilities. With CCH® Tagetik, Banca Progetto will be able to perform granular profitability analysis on margins in real time. With the combined data, Banca Progetto will gain visibility to the full set of KPI’s and real-time financial reports.

With Wolters Kluwer risk and finance software solutions, Banca Progetto says it can gain greater accuracy, shorter planning cycles and better insight, to improve performance, and empower accountability at all levels of decision making.

“We are incredibly excited to be working with Wolters Kluwer, having sought out a truly integrated approach to managing the full spectrum of finance and risk reporting obligations,” commented Claudio Caputo, CFO at Banca Progetto. “Wolters Kluwer is highly regarded in the field and is known to put ALM, Risk and Strategic Planning at the center of its endeavors.
