Pending regulatory deadlines through 2008 are driving a 200% average annual growth rate in spending in this market...Boston, MA, December 4, 2006 – According to a new impact report by Aite Group, LLC, Aite Group expects that by 2010, over 10% of the total spending within Enterprise Data Management will be for legal entity data management. This report highlights four vendors that provide products that help facilitate customer and counterparty data cleansing and management, including: Avox, CounterpartyLink, CreditDimensions, and D&B. Vendors were asked 64 questions regarding corporate information, product overviews, data information, origination, distribution, regulatory examination, and services. According to Adam HonorĂ© , author of the report, "To remain compliant, to control risk, and to understand their customers, firms need to clean their customer and counterparty data. Given the current propensity to outsource the 'plumbing', or anything that does not create a proprietary competitive advantage, data cleansing services are in the right market at the right time." The analyst adds, "Vendors need to be willing partners with their customers regarding regulatory inquiries and compliance initiatives."

November 2005 eBusinessware group company Credit Dimensions’ extensive domain experience in client reference data and operational experience in data management once again paved the way for a new project. With nearly $10 trillion in assets under custody and $1.5 trillion under management, this client, a world leader in financial services, showed confidence in us for their Data Management Solutions. The project comprises Data Verification and Maintenance. This will be followed up with a software licensing agreement in the event that the client wishes to bring the software in-house and integrate it with our core data management infrastructure. The dataset, of approximately 17000 records, includes investment managers & advisors, banks, bank branches, mutual funds, hedge funds, pension funds, institutional funds, corporates etc.
October 2005 Successful completion of its project entailing automated portfolio monitoring, trend-analysis and client service, paves the way for a second round of challenges for eBusinessware. As a follow-up to the success, the Phase II of this project—comprising maintenance and enhancements—has been awarded by the client. The new modules to be developed in this phase will enable the client to enhance its tracking systems to provides services like data processing specially in tracking portfolio, automatic portfolio management, reporting, on-demand analysis, trend analysis, exception reporting—all designed for any security types. The client’s requirement to adhere to safety regulations in the stock market underlines the business logic in the new module.
Challenge in the project arises from the turnaround time specified by the client and the team is all set to meet it. The technology platform comprises Python, Zope Open Source Server and MS SQL. October 2005 eBusinessware successfully completes development of a strategy consulting software, the first of its kind. After releasing its Version 1.0, to the client, eBusinessware is all set for repeating the pioneering performance in a new set of tasks envisaged by a satisfied client. Focusing on ongoing support for the released version, the project team is also gearing up for enhancement of existing functionality and development of new functionality under the Second Phase of the project. Divided into two streams, this phase includes.
Enhancements to Version 1 software; QA on the latest stable release; Analysis and defect fixing New Modules Development beginning with requirements gathering, analysis, design and development. This will result in the Version 2.0 release of the software. The technology platform comprises an object-oriented Smart Client Application using C#, MS SQL Server, .Net user and custom controls with the enhanced support of web services to facilitate the interaction of the SQL Server with database. September 2005 eBusinessware has emerged as the solution provider for a leading global investment bank yet again. The bank has a database, for maintaining credit spread curves for reference entities, which is currently maintained by the Research Department in London. The database is used for multiple reasons—closing values on credit curves, export of credit curves for submission to the price validation service and support for research models and reports.
The solution in this case involves the transfer of the responsibility of application support from the research function in London to the bank’s New York facility, ensuring that all New York facility's technical standards are adhered to. The project aims at improving the data model of the database and also at adding some new features to improve the business process flow. Planned over two phases, the first phase of the project entails "as-is" migration of the system from the research group in London to the New York facility. This phase also proposes to include review of the existing data model and to make changes to better reflect current business usage. This phase will be completed by mid-January 2006. The second phase will involve activities like architectural enhancements—addition of a data management layer and business related enhancements and will be completed by May 2006. The system comprises a main Sybase database (V 12.5.3), which is maintained and managed by use of database stored procedures, database triggers and Unix scripts that are run through CRON jobs. There is a web interface that is a PHP (V 4.3.0) application running on Apache (V 1.3.26) server that directly interacts with the underlying Sybase database. Some XL based applications also insert and update data in the database. The system gets external feeds (e.g. from Bloomberg) and also provides feeds to external systems. August 2005 Successful completion of its project entailing automated portfolio monitoring, trend-analysis and client service, paves the way for a second round of challenges for eBusinessware.

Challenge in the project arises from the turnaround time specified by the client and the team is all set to meet it. The technology platform comprises Python, Zope Open Source Server and MS SQL. July 2005 The months of June and July have been very eventful for us at eBusinessware with several successful project deliveries completed and multiple new projects added to our fold. Our endeavor to improve our processes has also met with success during this phase. The following projects provided the opportunity to improve upon our processes in delivery as well as project management.
June 2005
The technology platform comprises C++. June 2005 One of eBusinessware’s oldest clients, this company has had several projects developed by eBusinessware. Some more are still under development. As an extension of its trust, the client has now come up with yet another project. Scheduled for the next four months, the project involves migration of around 800 forms of the existing application from Adobe Version 4 to Version 7. The client uses these forms for data gathering and final sign offs in the sale of its products. This time the forms from various business divisions of the client have to undergo this migration. eBusinessware's challenge is to facilitate this migration without affecting the current functionality of the Application. In addition the project team, has to explore and innovate features of the present forms by adding signature fields, Adobe Scripts, sectional signing and by making use of Batch Process. The new features are to be added in Protable Documents and Electronic Signature Platform and regular error reports sent to the client. Subsequently, the testing and integration of all the forms with diverse divisions will add to the challenge.Technologies such as Acrobat 7, Electronic Signature Platform, Java and VC++ comprise the development platform.

The derivatives counter party team at the bank receives thousands of e-mails daily from a variety of brokers/dealers, carrying trade information of credit-spreads and bonds for various counter-parties. The bank requires a team of five to manually transfer the trade information from emails and to another system. This information is used for trend analysis and risk management by traders.
eBusinessware's challenge is to develop an engine that will handle all types of email formats, extract trade information and automate the whole process thus, saving time, efforts and improving overall efficiency. The Engine is designed with high degree of scalability and, as a result newer email formats can be plugged in without any change in the core Engine. The application is equipped with web based user interface to control engine configuration and generate custom reports. Technologies such as Java, Java Mail API, Struts Framework, and Hibernate comprise the development platform.
