Today: Bilateral Administration EnvironmentToday: Bilateral Administration Environment
•Parties must constantly “sync up” during contract life
• Payments, events, margining, etc.
• Many manual and duplicative reconciliation/resolution processes (internal and between firms)
•Each party is hostage to its counterparties’ processing
• You’re only as good as your counterparty – your records may be right, but if your counterparty disagrees or doesn’t know, you have a problem
• Operating models vary across firms: different processes for different counterparties

• Firms employ people to resolve payments issues
• …which could be solved up-front
• No detailed “book of rules” for every product type
•Volume
• Onwards and upwards - people become the scale problem
