Documentation

Business Description

Engaging in repapering projects - where large quantities of documentation need to be updated or changed in a homogenous way. Here there is a premium to configuring the documentation and process up front, using workflow and document automation to make the process is simplistic as possible.

The Pitch: There will be a huge amount of repapering required as a result of Mandatory Clearing and ESMA initiatives. Inhouse can't do it - it will require overflow. Getting a business which understands not only the market practice and legal subtleties, but also how to project manage, scale and apply technology to solve the volume problem, should be well placed.

Examples

• Mandatory clearing

Necessary Resources

Personnel:

• Expert in Clearing and Regulatory issues. Suggest: Peter Loo.
