Case Study: Bayer AG achieves bank-like middle-and-back-office efficiency and reduced global risk exposure with FIS (Adaptiv & Corporate Factory)

Bringing Bank-like Efficiency to the Middle and Back Office

Bayer AG, a global pharmaceutical, consumer health and agriculture company, faced treasury management strain from rapid economic shifts and growing regulatory complexity and set out to modernize its global middle- and back-office functions. To address this, Bayer AG engaged FIS and selected FIS solutions including Corporate Factory and FIS Adaptiv to bring bank-like efficiency to its treasury and financial control processes.

FIS implemented FIS Adaptiv as a single global platform, enabling fast Monte Carlo–based calculations of risk measures such as Value at Risk (VaR), Potential Future Exposure (PFE), Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) and Debt Valuation Adjustment (DVA). The FIS solution delivered process efficiencies across the trade life cycle, helped reduce Bayer AG’s global risk exposure, and supported a company spin-off by standing up back- and middle-office operations in under eight months, with FIS continuing to work with Bayer AG to lower costs and maintain compliance.
