Join ZSL at SMARTER BANKING – Risk Management Solutions from Zylog and Kamakura on IBM Platform

Ensure Risk-Free Business with KRM & IBM

Many banks and financial institutions take a siloed approach to risk management. This affects the ability of banks and financial institutions to assess their complete risk exposure, leading to unexpected losses, higher capital requirements and civil or criminal penalties. An integrated risk management system, therefore, is a must for a proactive and holistic identification and management of emerging risks.

KRM is a total risk management system tool that enables intelligent risk management decision making at reduced risk management costs, and guarantees improved returns while providing all the necessary regulatory reports as well. Build on IBM middleware and hardware KRM ensures that risk management is carried out without any flaws.

You are invited to explore KRM offerings on the IBM platform and interact with Dr. David M Rowe, Senior Advisor to Kamakura Corporation on 30th August, 2011 at JAIC Hilton Residence.

Need Help Shopping? MyBantu Gives it a Go With APIs

MyBantu is an interesting little mashup, available as an iPhone app, an Android app, and a website. Its goal is to make shopping for anything, especially restaurants and movies, easier and more social. It uses Yelp API, Netflix API and various others to make it happen. It’s very similar in idea to Siri, the “ultimate mashup” that Apple later gobbled up in the largest mashup acquisition ever.

Unlike Siri, myBantu doesn’t have integrated speech to text technology, but it does have decent natural language processing. It does some of the things Siri does, but lacks the ability to search weather reports and book taxis. MyBantu seems more focused, being mostly about helping you have a fun night out, where Siri seems a bit more comprehensive with its personal assistant features.

Developing C# Applications for iPhone and iPad using MonoTouch shows you how to use your existing C# skills to write apps for the iPhone and iPad. Fortunately, there’s MonoTouch, Novell’s .NET library that allows C# developers to write C# code that executes in iOS. Furthermore, MonoTouch allows you to address all the unique functions of the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. And the big plus: You needn’t learn any Objective-C to master MonoTouch!

The magic is in Novell’s implementation of Apple’s Cocoa libraries in MonoTouch. You’ll master the same elegant and rich Cocoa environment, but without the need to learn a new programming language. How cool is that. Check out MonoTouch here.

MonoTouch allows developers to create C# and .NET based applications that run on Apple's iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices, while taking advantage of the iPhone APIs and reusing both code and libraries that have been built for .NET, as well as existing skills.
