Major Global Bank Looks to Thunderhead to Increase Efficiency, Security and Compliance and Drive a Global Industry Standard

LONDON, April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Major global derivatives trader adopts Thunderhead cloud solution to lead industry towards a standard cloud-based solution to increase business efficiency and meet with Dodd Frank and EMIR regulations. 

Thunderhead's ONE was selected by one of the world's leading financial services providers for its Capital Markets solution, which enables business users to communicate and collaborate in real-time, streamlining paper processes across the entire trading lifecycle - effectively reducing costs, increasing transparency and simplifying compliance, while ensuring to remain compliant with the evolving regulatory landscape.

Deutsche Bank needed a cloud solution to enable its employees to manage communication-template creation, composition, negotiation and execution that would support all trade documentation in the increasingly regulated and cost-sensitive trading environment.

Thunderhead currently works with 14 of the G15 investment banks and has a growing number of major energy companies as customers, supporting them in automating thousands of processes every day, as well as being the leading Customer Engagement solution provider for over 200 major brands.

The Thunderhead solution means that customers will benefit from:

• Greater compliance
• Additional control
• Reduction of costs

ONE for Capital Markets was developed with advisory support from a working group of industry representatives from the G15 investment banks to ensure market compliance in line with CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) and ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) rules.

In addition, a separate working group, led by Thunderhead, was established to develop and implement an industry standard that would:

• Help industry members to demonstrate control around relationship documents, in line with Dodd Frank and EMIR regulations
• Showcase Thunderhead's ONE for Capital Markets as the solution of choice to enable industry members to work effectively, in a controlled environment, with relationship and trade documentation

Robin Moody, Global Head of Capital Markets, Thunderhead, said: "Working with Deutsche Bank as a valued customer of Thunderhead is further validation of our market-leading industry solution.  With the vital support from such a respected company we are developing and leading the implementation of one industry-wide standard.

"The regulatory landscape is changing rapidly and with the continued support of working group members we're able to help other organizations to more effectively comply as business processes evolve to meet the needs of our customers."

Thunderhead is beginning to work with Deutsche Bank to extend value with its award-winning customer engagement solution, the ONE Engagement Hub.
