Sev­eral mem­bers of the Lokion team recently attended the RSA Archer Sum­mit in Chicago. It was three days jam-packed with infor­ma­tion and tips for man­ag­ing Enter­prise Gov­er­nance, Risk, and Com­pli­ance (eGRC) pro­grams using the RSA Archer plat­form. The event was attended by 600 eGRC pro­fes­sion­als in indus­tries such as finan­cial ser­vices, health­care, retail, and logistics.

A key theme through­out the Sum­mit was the Archer platform’s abil­ity to empower orga­ni­za­tions to stop react­ing to risk and start pre­dict­ing, min­i­miz­ing, and pre­vent­ing inci­dents. In order to gain this vis­i­bil­ity, orga­ni­za­tions need to access mil­lions of records in a wide vari­ety of for­mats across numer­ous loca­tions. To meet this grow­ing chal­lenge, com­pa­nies are using Archer-to-Archer data feeds, the Web Ser­vices API, and the data feed man­ager to extract the nec­es­sary infor­ma­tion. Archer has the capa­bil­ity to dis­till and report key ele­ments, giv­ing man­age­ment the met­rics it needs to make informed busi­ness decisions.

Dur­ing the Sum­mit, atten­dees learned that RSA Archer is explor­ing, expand­ing and enhanc­ing the cur­rent report­ing capa­bil­i­ties to poten­tially include pow­er­ful tools such as 3D data visu­al­iza­tion, dynamic chart fil­ter­ing, and heat maps.

Our very own Meka Egwuekwe joined Susan Ingen­luyff, vice pres­i­dent, con­sul­tant–sys­tems engi­neer­ing at Bank of Amer­ica, to present a ses­sion at the con­fer­ence enti­tled “Data Feeds: Beyond the Basics.” The pre­sen­ta­tion explained how to get the most out of data feeds using the web ser­vices API, per­for­mance enhance­ment rec­om­men­da­tions, and other advanced tips for tak­ing data feeds beyond the obvious.

Addi­tion­ally, Lokion would like to con­grat­u­late Bank of Amer­ica for receiv­ing the RSA Archer Sum­mit 2012 Inno­va­tion Award! We are proud to be one of your partners.

It was an excit­ing Sum­mit and we look for­ward to the 2013 RSA Archer Sum­mit in Wash­ing­ton, DC.
