Why Deploy Product Master data management

Creating, storing and accessing financial product-related data across a company’s different internal systems and multiple locations has become increasingly complex.

Competitive pressures dictate that time to market—from product idea to launch—has to be shorter. In order to measure and manage risk and performance, there must be a link between products and tradeable assets.

Organizations also need consistent data for regulatory compliance, reporting, and transparency (e.g. for Dodd-Frank, Basel III and MiFID II). Consistency of data is also necessary for descriptions to business lines and partners, fact sheets for clients, and fees charged.

With Product Master data management, your firm meets the challenge of efficient sourcing, onboarding and cross-referencing of information from diverse sources and systems.
