VTB Bank (Austria) AG
At VTB I was faced with Cognos 8, which had a complete different interface than Cognos 7.4, but I've quickly got used to it. After being there a few months we upgraded to Cognos 10 and in 2017 we upgraded to Cognos 11.
In my first half year, I mostly was working on Cognos reports. Then, after a lot of new DWH related requirements came from Moscow, I had to put more and more data from other productive systems like our core banking system. I've also created some interface to Calypso, Bloomberg, Reuters. Sometimes I was working as a “normal programmer” and wrote C# code in Visual Studio (e.g. for a Lotus Notes interface or Customer matching procedure).
Here a list of some exciting projects I've implemented/participated:
- Cost allocation
- Daily client P/L
- General loan loss provision calculation (UGB, IFRS)
- Customer matching for three banks
- Deal matching for three banks
- FTP (=funds transfer pricing) calculation
- Selection process of new BI environment (ETL, BI, data entry)
- Wildfly (formerly JBoss) cluster for ESB (Softproject X4)
- Data migration from Austrian core-banking system (IBP) to German core-banking system (Fusion Banking Midas) heavily using ESB (XML technology)
Here some non-BI/-DWH related projects:
- Member of IT team VTB Austria at the selection process of our central ticketing system
- Member of IT team VTB Austria at the selection process of our new core banking system
- ECB AQR and other regulatory projects
- ICAAP, ILAAP audits by OeNB and ECB representatives
For most of our projects, deep understanding of banking products and good knowledge of accounting and risk management was necessary.
