Case Study: Erste Bank Croatia achieves real-time, self-service risk reporting with SAS Visual Analytics

SAS® Visual Analytics helps Erste Bank Croatia tackle diverse data for accurate analysis

Erste Bank Croatia, part of Erste Group and one of the largest financial services firms in Central and Eastern Europe with over 820,000 customers, faced rapidly growing transaction volumes, stricter regulation and a fragmented, Excel/VBA-based reporting process that was slow, hard to use and unable to support the daily, real-time portfolio and risk analysis the business required.

The bank implemented SAS Visual Analytics and the SAS Risk Management platform and redesigned its information management program. The result: intuitive, self-service reporting for nontechnical staff, reduced dependence on IT, fast daily and real-time analytics across large, heterogeneous data sets (millions of rows), quicker risk-based decisions and better readiness for future big-data needs.
