Specialized Software Development

CIG has a dedicated staff of professional software developers. As early on the group recognized that it is often more appropriate to perform certain programming near-site or on-site in an integrated business and development environment. All programmers have extensive backgrounds in financial services and understand how best to solve business problems with technology. This approach not only ensures better solutions, but also reduces costs and time to market. In some cases, prepackaged solutions are not always the best answer to specific business needs. As such, CIG has developed a limited number of specific products to address gaps in the marketplace:
  • Fixed Income/MBS and Derivatives Support
  • Risk Management
  • Compliance

  • Fixed Income/MBS and Derivatives Support - is a core competency of the group, as we have build several application systems ranging from front office pricing tools to add-on modules for settlements. Back office systems modules include customized swift interfaces. Front office applications include pricing systems in the Subprime MBS sector. We have also developed a set web crawlers to security master data through trustee websites. We have found this information to be richer, more complete and current than what ABS investors are buying from the top data providers.

  • Risk Management - is central to the continued and smooth operations of financial services firms. CIG continuously looks to improve and develop both internal control processes, but in particular to provide the systems that can support an organization both now and in the future. Product(s) developed to support such tasks are:

    • Credit Risk Management System (CRS) – CIG has developed a Credit Risk System (CRS) to meet the needs of financial firms seeking to gain a competitive advantage from real-time Equity Risk Management. Risk managers are able to set alerts and track client and firm exposure to client positions and monitor these positions throughout the course of a trading day. This allows for immediate corrective action to be taken and significantly reduces the potential for large capital losses in fast moving markets.

  • Compliance – A firm’s reputation is a fragile thing and needs to be handled with the utmost of respect and care. It takes year’s of careful nurturing to develop, but can be destroyed overnight and this is why in a post Anderson, Enron and WorldCom environment, especially institutions who’s core business is managing and trading money, attention to business risk is of the utmost importance. Compliance is at the heart of (business) risk management as not only can a firm loose proprietary or customer funds from unregulated activity, but it can also be severely penalized and even shut down for non-compliance activities and operational procedures. From time to time, CIG perceives gaps in the marketplace that are not adequately covered by other vendor software solutions and undertakes to develop specific software solutions such as the products listed below. These products can be utilized as stand alone modular components or can be integrated into an enterprise packaged suite of solutions.
