/ Explore VERMEG’s CDM-Enabled Solutions
The financial industry is facing numerous challenges due to inconsistent data standards, leading to inefficiencies and errors. Fragmented processes across different institutions hindered seamless interoperability, leading to a constant need for reconciliation, increasing operational risk and consuming significant resources. Additionally, regulatory compliance was complex and costly without a unified framework.
The Common Domain Model (CDM) addresses this challenge by providing standardized representations for how financial products are traded and managed throughout their lifecycle. By ensuring consistency and interoperability across firms and platforms, CDM reduces reconciliation costs, enhances automation, and minimizes operational risk. VERMEG was the first vendor to implement the CDM for the representation of Collateral Agreements. The main drivers were to achieve full automation of collateral processes from the onboarding of the agreements to the collateral settlement, and to improve interoperability and COLLINE integration within the global collateral eco-system. COLLINE solution fully integrates CDM principles, enabling firms to streamline collateral management, improve efficiency, and unlock new value in their operations.
