Regulatory demands and changing market equations require firms to look at their positions, counterparty, credit and market risk real-time. They can no longer wait to receive an intraday or nightly vendor feed, supplement it with end of day prices and other attributes and then analyze the results. Reference data which represents over 90 percent of data stored in most banks is often misunderstood as being static in nature, and therefore unaffected by real-time changes. However the 'static' nature of reference data is now increasingly being challenged. A modification to the credit rating of an entity, a corporate action that has been announced, a bond that is about to be called are just a few examples where near real-time availability of data changes has become mandatory to stay at the top of the game. A major impact is coming from electronic and low latency trading where requirements are significantly different than in a traditional trading environment, from the immediate accessibility of up to date reference data to the generation of trading signals based on the changes in reference data. Join Headstrong, the security industry's leading IT services firm and element22, a boutique information management advisory company to review the business challenges faced in procuring reference data and to discuss issues like incorrect and incomplete reference data due to poor support and management. Amongst other things, this webinar will discuss
