On September 15^th, 2008, Omgeo announced the acquisition of Allustra, a London-based provider of collateral management, providing customers with the ability to consolidate trade positions across asset classes, including OTC derivatives, and to manage the collateral process that mitigates the associated counterparty risk. With this acquisition, Omgeo is extending its operations expertise in automating trade life cycle events into asset servicing.

Omgeo now offers Omgeo ProtoColl, the industry-leading solution for collateral and margin management (CMM).  ProtoColl is the first collateral and margin management solution entirely designed to employ the very latest, industry-standard technologies and methods.  With Omgeo ProtoColl, you will gain confidence in utilizing a flexible, yet robust collateral and margin management tool that automatically monitors the terms of your agreements and credit support annexes with each of your counterparties. The system then calculates the net exposure for each collateralized portfolio, generates all the necessary margin calls, produces the associated notifications, handles the ensuing negotiations, suggests and processes the mitigating collateral orders, and helps you optimize and track your collateral book, all from one place. The system provides:
