MarketMap Analytic Platform (MAP) for the Public Sector
In recent years, central banks, finance ministries, and statistical agencies throughout the world have been compelled to focus increased attention on developing sophisticated systems for gathering, aggregating, analyzing and distributing demographic, social and economic statistics.
These statistics are key to solving complex problems ranging from controlling inflation to managing the "boom-bust" conditions emerging in liberalized economics and identifying when a monetary tightening is required.
Yet public sector organizations are working with massive volumes of data that are in a mix of different formats and frequencies. In addition, users are often based around the world, hindering the ability to efficiently distribute the data, and decentralized workflows make it difficult to see the full picture. Both issues can ultimately increase risk.
MarketMap Analytic Platform (MAP) was designed to address the challenges facing the public sector. MAP's proprietary database technology is optimized for the manipulation, storage and retrieval of time series objects, and a powerful analytic engine drives the manipulation, normalization and analysis of time series data.
The software works with commonly used statistical packages as well as Microsoft Excel®. Its design reflects SunGard’s company-wide commitment to technologies and solutions that run Software as a Service (SaaS), making it easier for public sector customers to distribute data to their end users. MAP also incorporates industry standards such as SDMX to support complex economic queries.
