Further development of a client/server application for entering, processing and calculating benchmarks for rates for different capital assets. The application makes it possible to represent benchmarks at several levels of observation, and to exchange required or calculated data with other databases that process information using benchmarks of this kind.
Supplement
The screens for data maintenance for the "Benchmark" application are created using PowerBuilder 10.5. The processes needed for data processing, data import/export are implemented in Oracle SQL*Plus. Data retention for the application is performed by an Oracle database (Oracle RDBMS 9.2.x).
Subject description
Benchmarks are often used to reflect the performance of capital assets. These are also used to determine or to display the competitiveness of individual investment products and to assess them at a higher level (sectors). A great deal of information flows into the calculation and assessment of benchmarks (e.g. securities rates, fiscal year data of funds). Master data, tools / tool groups, relationships between tools or splits are also important when assessing and deriving important benchmarks. To ensure that the benchmarks are up to date and to guarantee efficient provision, management and processing of data, the "Benchmark" client/server application is needed. It is also used for required data exchange with other systems. Rates for base benchmarks or results of benchmark calculation are exchanged, for example.
