Sub-Prime Crisis Highlights the Importance of Enterprise Data Management, Finds GoldenSource Paper

Sub-Prime Crisis Highlights the Importance of Enterprise Data Management, Finds GoldenSource Paper

NEW YORK, September 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Throughout the boom in complex leveraged and collateralised debt instruments, high yields have all but blinded investors to the significant risk. Now that the market has turned sour and lenders are calling in the debts, investors are learning the hard way how CDOs and other exotic instruments can quickly unravel. GoldenSource Corporation, a leading provider of Enterprise Data Management (EDM) solutions, has recently published a white paper outlining how EDM can help mitigate the fall out from the current credit crunch crisis, titled "Battling the credit crunch with Enterprise Data Management."

Synopsis:

Today's credit crunch has led to defaults in a US$100bn market sector - US sub-prime mortgages - that are now destroying confidence in trillions of dollars of collateralised instruments. As sub-prime mortgages have been routinely pooled and packaged with other debt in large, complex CDOs, they are contaminating even highly rated debt, creating a risk-averse market and drying up the money supply.

To survive this crisis and avoid becoming another Herstatt or Barings, financial institutions need a comprehensive understanding of all the debt they hold and all the related information on customers, counterparties, issuers and collateral. With a clear view of both their exposure to risk and the collateral they can offset against that risk, firms can weather the storm and prove their viability to the market.

By applying proven enterprise data management techniques, institutions can gain a solid view of their comprehensive holdings and have the ability to fall back on centralised, clean, detailed data in times of crisis. When uncertainty strikes the market, EDM can help restore confidence and protect against risk.
