The Bank initially felt it would be impossible to move away from their existing provider in a cost effective manner with minimal disruption. THE SOLUTION The Bank had been depending on a traditional vendor to support their IFRS 9 requirements. Unfortunately it was taking far too long (often over 48 hours) to complete the calculation of their Expected Credit Loss (ECL). The Bank desperately required a more modern-day solution, that could seamlessly run their ECL calculations in a shorter timeframe, with the added ability of running multiple simulations in the same environment and with minimal effort needed. ElysianNxt provided a solution based on cutting edge technology enabling the Bank to step into the world of real-time risk management. THE OUTCOME ElysianNxt proved in a very short space of time that the Bank could quickly and easily replace their existing platform and run their ECL calculations within a much improved 2 hour window. ## The Journey 2017 - 2018 **Initial implementation** - The Bank implemented an IFRS 9 solution in 2017-2018 with one of the traditional vendors in this space. - The system proved challenging and needed 48 hours to complete the calculation of Expected Credit Loss (ECL). - The implementation of the incumbent traditional solution took around 6 months. **2020** **The selection process** - In 2020, the license with the initial vendor came up for renewal at which point the Bank decided to look for another vendor. ## ***The Bank's concerns for considering a new* *solution:*** - *The bank had spent significantly on the initial implementation, was hesitant to take on another project and had little appetite to spend more money.* - *A replacement project could take a long time to implement and users would have to be retrained.* - ElysianNxt proved via a Proof of Concept that it could easily replace the existing platform in just a few weeks and for a significantly lower cost to the Bank. 2020 ## **A successful replacement** - In only 6 weeks the Bank was having like for like results and coverage. - The ECL calculation now completes within 2 hours on the existing hardware of the Bank. **What did the bank get out of it:** - End of month process shortened by 2 days. - Users can easily run simulations and stress tests. - No new IFRS 9 license had to be bought as ElysianNxt’s software is based on a yearly subscription. - Prevents all future expense on painful upgrade projects by a continuously updated solution - The third-party database license could be scaled down as ElysianNxt does not need the enterprise version. ## 2021   Confidently moving forward with phase 2 - In 2021, the Bank decided on a re-modelling exercise for a number of portfolios. - The flexibility of the platform made this possible in a matter of weeks. ## WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT ![IFRS 9 Replacement Case Study- What Makes Us Different](https://insights.elysiannxt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IFRS%209%20Replacement%20Case%20Study-%20What%20Makes%20Us%20Different.png?width=550&height=508&name=IFRS%209%20Replacement%20Case%20Study-%20What%20Makes%20Us%20Different.png "IFRS 9 Replacement Case Study- What Makes Us Different") ![IFRS 9 Replacement Case Study- Project Timelines](https://insights.elysiannxt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IFRS%209%20Replacement%20Case%20Study-%20Project%20Timelines.png?width=280&height=703&name=IFRS%209%20Replacement%20Case%20Study-%20Project%20Timelines.png "IFRS 9 Replacement Case Study- Project Timelines") ![IFRS 9 Replacement Case Study- Performance results v2-2](https://insights.elysiannxt.com/hubfs/IFRS%209%20Replacement%20Case%20Study-%20Performance%20results%20v2-2.png "IFRS 9 Replacement Case Study- Performance results v2-2") ## IFRS9.NXT - Built on the latest technology supported by a data streaming and micro-services architecture. - Enables users to run calculations, simulations and what-if analysis in minutes on large data sets. - Includes out-of-the-box model methods for construction of forward-looking Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and Exposure of Default (EAD) curves. - Can be implemented in weeks rather than years. - Empowers Risk and Finance Users to make changes to the configuration via the intuitive User Interface. ![IFRS 9 Replacement Case Study- Laptop screen](https://insights.elysiannxt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IFRS%209%20Replacement%20Case%20Study-%20Laptop%20screen.png?width=800&height=497&name=IFRS%209%20Replacement%20Case%20Study-%20Laptop%20screen.png "IFRS 9 Replacement Case Study- Laptop screen") ![Matthias Image- Deloitte EMEA Webinar](https://insights.elysiannxt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Matthias%20Image-%20Deloitte%20EMEA%20Webinar.png?width=150&height=140&name=Matthias%20Image-%20Deloitte%20EMEA%20Webinar.png "Matthias Image- Deloitte EMEA Webinar") *"Today’s Technology allows Financial Institutions to run what-if analysis on the fly and present results in no time.
