OUTCOME &, BENEFITS: We delivered a centralized application providing data validation, data integrity and security, user management and user access control, advanced reporting capabilities, archiving and historical data management, automated calculation of portfolio’s mark-to-market and position
A.M. Nomikos has been using the application since 2011 and since then we have released three major versions, with improvements in terms of performance, user interface and reporting.
EXIS’s Risk Management System is the core system supporting A.M. NOMIKOS’ operations, enabling them to perform risk analysis for more than 1.500 trades (Freight Forward Agreements, Options and Time Charters) on a daily basis.
