Methodology for the formation of students' competencies when working with the SPARK-Interfax system
The article is devoted to the formation of competencies and methodological support of classes in the discipline "Information technologies in professional activities" for students of the direction of business informatics to work with the information and analytical system SPARK-Interfax, designed to check counterparties, identify risks in the company's activities, for conduct financial analysis of companies and discovering their connections. The possibilities of the SPARK system are considered and the necessity of its study in the educational process is substantiated. SPARK is an analytical system that was created by order of Russian banks and at their expense. The information that can be extracted from the system is collected and analyzed by it, and then used by users. Today, SPARK is the leader among information and analytical systems and is used to check the reliability of partner companies by most companies. The problem of obtaining fresh data about the company in business is always relevant. Information and analytical system SPARK allows you to get the necessary information about any company you are interested in. The technologies used in the operation of the system make it possible to identify analytics, determine the risks of the company and correctly select counterparties, obtain truly exclusive data on not only the payment discipline of companies, but also all the basic information necessary to work with the company. The system allows you to get access, practically, in a single window mode, both to the notary and Rosreestr, as well as to the data of the credit bureau. It is also possible to embed the system in any business process. The purpose of the work is to teach students to implement the processes of collecting, processing and interpreting the information received, critically analyze, generalize and systematize it, use a systematic approach qualitatively and competently to solve the tasks, as well as competently, logically, and reasonably form their own judgments and assessments. As a result of the work, students learn to put into practice modern methods for identifying patterns, use modern technologies for analyzing, summarizing and systematizing information. They may determine the current state of software in your professional field. When working with the SPARK system, students develop the ability to use application software competently and professionally in solving their professional problems.
