Components of the OFSDF Application Pack

The OFSDF Application Pack consists of the following Components:

·        Financial Services Analytical Warehouse Data Model

This is a Physical Data Model that supports Data Sourcing and Reporting related to the Key Analytical Use Cases in the Financial Services Industry. The Warehouse Model is a Physical Data Model, which is readily deployable, and consists of the Database Object Definitions, and Additional Supporting Scripts.

It is organized into two distinct sets of Tables based on purpose:

§       The Staging Model, which facilitates Data Sourcing from the Bank's internal Operational Systems such as Lending Systems, Trading Systems, Collateral Management Systems, and Master Data Management Systems.

§       The Reporting Model, which facilitates the storage of outputs from the Analytical Tools, Applications, and Engines in a manner that is conducive to Business Intelligence Reporting. The Warehouse Model is typically deployed into production through a set of Management Tools known as the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Application Infrastructure (OFSAAI). OFSAAI is a separate Product and is a prerequisite for OFSDF.

·        Supporting Scripts

As part of the OFSDF Application Pack, additional Scripts are provided for basic operations such as internal data movement between the Staging and Reporting Tables.
