Case Study: Crédit Agricole CIB achieves harmonized risk analysis and 10-second pre-trade checks with Qlik

Crédit Agricole CIB Optimizes Value Of Risk Analysis With QlikView

Crédit Agricole CIB, the corporate and investment banking arm of Crédit Agricole, needed to centralize and harmonize fixed‑income risk data that was coming in as dozens of inconsistent Excel files and emails from multiple systems. The small Fixed Income Markets Monitoring & Control team faced slow, manual consolidation, difficulty comparing historical data, and limited ability to detect anomalies or run pre‑trade checks quickly.

By deploying QlikView and building a rigorous data model and about 20 applications, the bank automated reporting, harmonized references, and added integrity checks plus intuitive filter and drill‑down analytics. The result was dramatic time savings and faster decision‑making—pre‑trade checks that once took up to an hour now take about 10 seconds—improved trend analysis, rapid anomaly detection, and more responsive, self‑service risk monitoring.
