Reduce Multiple System Costs

Calypso’s single system allows users to reconcile the number of systems in use, thereby eliminating the costs associated with the upkeep of many systems. The single system also reduces the costs of reconciling information across the various platforms.

New Revenue Sources

The common platform for all products gives users the ability to provide customized structured financial products to customers that typically generate higher margins for financial institutions.

Integrated Risk

Screen space on a trading desk is always at a premium. For this purpose, Calypso offers an integrated real time desk level risk analysis module, presenting different type of risk (Fixed Income, Interest Rate Derivatives, Foreign Exchange, Credit Rate Derivatives and Commodities) in one configurable screen. This screen reacts in real time and allows the user to run different types of “What-if”, hedge recommendations and P&L explained scenarios from one entry point with all scenarios updated in real-time.

Lower Processing Costs

All processing (confirmation, settlement and accounting) in Calypso® is automated unless there is an exception or users choose to insert a break-point in the process. Calypso allows business managers to dynamically alter workflow processes to maximize straight-through processing. Processing is driven by Calypsos workflow framework. Calypsos task station gathers in one place all the information users need in order to monitor processing and respond to exceptions.
