Particularly in the current market environment, the transparent display of relevant management information from an income, cost and risk perspective at the overall bank level becomes a key competitive factor. As a flexible management information system, zeb//control compass provides you with functions for structuring, aggregating and processing a multitude of controlling information. In detail, zeb//control portal supports you with the following functionalities:
The comprehensive reporting library that is specifically tailored to the needs of board members builds on the long-standing, practice-tested project expertise of zeb/. Hence, the system can be immediately used in productive operation. The reporting system includes specific analyses as well as period and benchmarking comparisons at the level of business segments and products as well as reports on risk development and productivity indicators.
According to our experience, the high complexity of relationships at the overall bank level can best be tackled with the help of clearly structured value driver trees. For that purpose, the data available are related to each other in graphical displays. In addition to the higher transparency of causal links in such a representation, the system also offers flexible ad-hoc simulations. By modifying key value drivers (e.g. for an increase in the volume of new business or an adjustment of the risk structure for the loan portfolio), the effect on result parameters can be directly simulated.
In the event that the objectives are not reached for individual key ratios at the bank-wide level, an automated analysis of causes can be performed based on algorithms that have been specially developed for this purpose. This procedure directly examines – i.e. without manual drill-down – the relevant failures to reach targets at all lower control levels available and presents essential explanatory approaches to deviations at the bank-wide level.

The costs report provides information on the available cost types and allows you to review your budget utilisation.
The chronological development of the bank´s main indicators is displayed in the history report.
The management report provides an overview of relevant management information from revenue, cost and risk perspective. The most important ratios are indicated by tachometers.

A breakdown of results by business units is available in the form of the segment analysis report. Major deviations from the plan are indicated by exclamation marks that link to an automatic root cause analysis.
