NEW YORK, November 17 /PRNewswire/ -- What: GoldenSource Corporation, a leading provider of awarding winning* enterprise data management (EDM) solutions to the securities and investment management industry, will be speaking at a topical breakfast briefing exploring the need for better data management as the missing link for successful risk management, compliance and regulation. Neil Edelstein, a specialist in derivatives processing at GoldenSource, will address Implications of the Credit Crunch on Data Management Initiatives during the panel discussion, which includes reference data experts from Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan. The briefing is hosted by Inside Reference Data, a specialist publication from Incisive Media focused on data management issues.
Where: Le Parker Meridien Hotel 118 West 57th Street New York, New York When: Thursday, November 20, 2008 Registration: 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. Breakfast and presentations: 8:00 a.m. -10:00 a.m. For more information or to complete your complimentary registration, visit http://www.incisivemedia.com/forms/waters/ird_ny_08/index_08.html
Why: The financial storm has highlighted financial institutions' weak handle on their data, especially where counterparty data is concerned in derivatives processing. This has prompted a re-evaluation of their approach to data management. Without a clear and integrated view of counterparty risk, firms will struggle to prove to customers, counterparties and regulators that the data used to measure performance and regulatory compliance is trustworthy.
The smart application of automated data management can provide a transparent and enterprise-wide view of risk and exposure, instead of the current practice of lawyers and accountants spending weeks sifting through a paper trail of contracts, documentation and transaction records. The breakfast briefing will offer multiple perspectives from industry experts on the establishment of data management practices designed to reduce risks.
Who: Neil Edelstein, VP of marketing North America, is a reference data and pricing specialist with more than 30 years of industry experience. Prior to joining GoldenSource, Edelstein held senior positions at Standard Poor's, Interactive Data, Thomson (as president of Muller Data), and SunGard, where he was managing director. Edelstein has also worked as an independent consultant for DTCC, Vanguard, Wachovia, and Allstate.
