Securitisation Consulting has launched a new, powerful software for integration of external Ratings from Moody's, Fitch and Standar & Poor's called ARMS - Advanced Rating Management System

December 13, 2006 – Dusseldorf, Germany, Securitisation Consulting GmbH, a German consulting and software development company focused on Asset Securitisation, launched a powerful Advanced Rating Management System (ARMS) for a fast and automated integration of external rating data from leading rating agencies (Moody’s, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s) into financial institution environment.

Timely access to accurate rating information is crucial for any kind of financial business. This is also essential for Asset Securitisation, Portfolio Management and even for Basel II. Rating data is provided electronically by leading rating agencies in different formats and received directly from each agency through the central interface.

Integration of different formats from various agencies usually requires extra effort, time and cost. To make integration of external ratings easier, faster and cost-effective, Securitisation Consulting has developed ARMS – Advanced Rating Management System. ARMS provides reliable rating data for Asset Securitisation, Portfolio Management or Basel II. Ratings are integrated directly into existing IT environment of financial institutions and updated automatically. Our IT solution allows our customers to observe the rating market situation and track its daily changes. Rating data is accessible and easy to use due to the unique ARMS application design and automated mapping logic. We integrate multiple rating formats into a single system and thus, offer our clients a fast and cost-effective solution with a friendly interface.

Yury Menchinskiy, Managing Director of Securitisation Consulting: “Our customers see advantages of ARMS in elimination of manual errors during the process of rating update, lowering the operational risk in Basel II and especially in easy access to up-to-date and accurate ratings from Moody’s, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s investment portfolios. Using ARMS features it is possible to create an individual rating-migration matrix, based on selected criteria like asset classes or geographical allocation, which are important for sophisticated risk management“.
