Enterprise Data Management
Data is perhaps the most important collateral that an investment manager owns. Without accurate and complete data, buy-side managers, no matter how skilled, will struggle not only to understand the state of the market and future trends, but also to understand their true exposures at any one point in time. The large number of mergers and acquisitions in recent years has also created an environment where management groups are working from different platforms, each supporting its own data model, and database structure. In addition, many asset managers are continuing to support ‘best of breed’ business application technology plaforms. In these environments, managers are endeavoring to support leading front office systems, accounting systems, risk management systems, and so on. All of these systems share data and without a defined data strategy, the disadvantages of change can often outweigh the benefits.
Citisoft is a leader in advising investment managers on their strategic approach to enterprise data management in addition to delivering effective and pragmatic professional service and solutions.
