Case Study: Dubai Aluminium (DUBAL) achieves enhanced transparency and control to weather market volatility with FIS Quantum

Desert Orchid Dubai Aluminium Weathers Market Volatility with Increased Transparency and Control

Dubal, one of the world’s largest aluminium smelters, faced increasing market volatility and operational risk from a spreadsheet-driven treasury environment that lacked security, auditability and integration with enterprise systems. To strengthen financial risk mitigation, improve transparency and integrate exposures with SAP, Dubal selected FIS and its Quantum Treasury Management System to replace decentralized Excel/Access processes.

FIS implemented Quantum over a one-year phased program, delivering real‑time exposure capture, straight‑through hedging with the 360T FX platform, automated hedge accounting, advanced risk analytics (VaR, Monte Carlo, option pricing) and an interface‑monitoring dashboard. The FIS solution met all project objectives, significantly reduced manual processes, increased controls, data integrity and reporting transparency, and is now slated for group rollout across Emirates Global Aluminium.
