SybaseAdds Time Series Analytics to Its Capital Markets Platform

Sybase RAP - The Trading Edition Enterprise with Built-in Time Series Analytics
Enables Capital Markets Firms to Make Faster Decisions While Reducing Risks and
Maximizing Trading Opportunities
DUBLIN, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY), an industry leader in delivering enterprise and mobile
software, today announced the launch of RAP - The Trading Edition Enterprise
with built-in time series analytics. Sybase RAP is now the only solution to
comprise built-in time series analytics, a market data platform, ultra low
latency, and streaming data analytics in a single product - an enhancement to
the very successful market analytics platform that is already helping dozens of
capital markets firms make better trading and portfolio decisions across their
trade lifecycle.

The addition of high performance time series analytics to RAP - The Trading
Edition Enterprise makes developing risk and trading models quicker and easier
with faster, deeper time-series analysis of financial data.

"In a volatile trading environment, the ability to analyze time series market
data both historically and in real time gives financial services organizations
an edge," said Larry Tabb, CEO, TABB Group. "Capital markets firms can identify
material events and mitigate risks or seize opportunities ahead of the rest of
the market by using strong time series analytical toolboxes."

The new time series analytics capability allows more complex modeling, improved
backtesting, and faster intra-day risk and compliance reporting - and the
ability to do all this with a single platform eliminates the challenges inherent
in integrating multiple vendor solutions. RAP is the only available platform
offering ultra-low latency time series analytics and the ability to perform time
series analysis over decades of market data. Additionally, Sybase RAP allows
customers to supplement the built-in models with their own in-house developed
models, share models between team members, and ensure consistency in the
processing of data, by executing commonly used data preparation functions in
Sybase RAP.

"Current market conditions require better trend analysis and predictive modeling
for trading decision and risk management, especially counterparty risk
analysis," said Dr. Raj Nathan, Chief Marketing Officer at Sybase. "Sybase RAP
with the new time series analytics built in allows for better, faster market and
risk analysis. Sybase now offers the only complete market data analytics
platform that can scale to the enterprise."

Faster and more complex analysis of recent and historical data can lead to more
sophisticated trading strategies. By using real-time backtesting of models
against a complete price and tick data history, firms can improve the
reliability of their models and better mitigate risk. Sybase RAP with built-in
time series analytics offers more rapid calculations on economic capital and
credit risk (i.e. default rates, potential exposures) using complete time series
covering decades of securities pricing and volatility data. Time series
functionality is important to market data analytics because it enhances the
modeling of risk and trading strategies. RAP is a strategic market data platform
to consolidate and centralize market data management.
