Security Master Management

Cadis EDM Suite enables the creation and management of master data in an environment that is completely audited, facilitates constant change and is completely flexible to meet the organisation's requirements.

The creation of a single security and/or price master is often the backbone of an EDM strategy.

Ensuring the validity of data in the security and price masters is often a mission critical activity. The constant increase in data sources within organisations adds to the complexity of the checks required.

The Cadis EDM Suite enables organisations to validate data on a historical basis, between sources and against indices. This standard configuration can be effortlessly tailored to meet the needs of the organisation at an enterprise-wide level incorporating the specific needs for specialist business users (Quant desks, etc.).

Systems are alerted to suspect data, without delaying the investment process, enabling users to perform additional validation. Data that fails validation can be edited via a configurable “Inbox” that has full audit and privilege functionality.

Logic can be utilised to identify suspect data and without human intervention replace them from an alternative source. Full audit trails of exactly where every data item originated from, and where it was sent to, are maintained.

Validation techniques used for prices can also be utilised on data items such as Maturity Dates, P/E Ratios, Durations, Deltas, Gammas, Coupon Schedules, etc.

This functionality in combination with standard interfaces to many of the leading OMS and data vendors enables buy side institutions to provide their fund managers and traders with the best tools as well as the highest quality data within timeframes and budgets that suit the businesses needs.
