Comprehensive

With FIDM™, it is possible to give a full description of all financial instruments, in other words, their legal form and their cash flows, as well as the associated institutions, company events, markets, prices and geographical details.

Proven

FIDM™ is used by leading international banks, stock exchanges and data vendors. A large number of applications were developed in many different areas, which proved successful in everyday business use.

Stable

The financial market theory verifies that financial instruments, whatever their complexity, can be represented as a combination of relatively easily described individual elements. Due to this characteristic and the modular approach of the model, it is assured that the Financial Instruments Data Model remains stable, even in a rapidly changing environment.

Forward-looking

The model opens up new opportunities for the development of modern bank applications. The potential arising from the findings of the financial market theory can be fully developed, as the requisite data can be recorded in full.

User-friendly

Although FIDM™ can define extremely complex financial instruments, due to the use of simple building blocks, the description itself remains comprehensible and intuitive. Comprehensive documentation grants users fast and easy access to the material at every stage.

International

From the very beginning, FIDM™ was developed as a model for international use. The model therefore supports several currencies, languages, time zones, etc. National customs are reduced to basic principles, which can be interpreted in the particular connection.
