SD helps customers meet their risk and position management needs 
 
Why?

• SD offers a set of cost-effective, easily-integrated operations solutions for the front to middle office
  
  
• These complement existing systems within the business, and can be used to enable front office derivatives management,  complementary operations for middle office (including events management, simulation tools, middle office reports and mark-to-market) and integration with back office systems
  
  
• Whereas makeshift processes prevent businesses from having the front office capabilities to trade advanced products, or from focusing on their core competencies, SD’s operations solutions enable institutions to scale up their derivatives business by offering advanced decision support, booking and risk tools, unparalleled time to market and low total cost of ownership compared to alternatives
  
  
• SD offers operations solutions for the widest range of asset classes, including credit, FX, commodities and energy, equities and interest rates
