Western Asset Management, a fixed income asset management firm with $170 billion assets under management, needed a system to integrate a PAM accounting database with a Sybase-based trading system. A VB/SQL Server accounting reconciliation database developed by Arnone Consulting provided the answer. Trades could be compared between the accounting and trading system, and differing trades reported to the user. The resulting application allowed users to identify missing or incorrectly typed trades and correct them as needed.
