What our clients are saying
CRSP has launched a project to enhance our data-acquisition processes and to develop a new set of equity-based indices. We needed a software solution that could manage Corporate Actions data effectively. Included in the factors leading to a high score in our analysis and requirements was the comprehensiveness of the product in handling domestic and international securities along with the flexibility in the ability to manage the growing volume of Corporate Actions activity efficiently for our research staff. Their exclusive focus on the Corporate Actions automation space and their all-inclusive implementation strategy were additional factors in our selection of XSP. In addition to licensing the XSP application, CRSP will leverage the XSP team’s broad business and technical expertise in developing some additional and exciting product enhancements unique to CRSP’s requirements. We look forward to working closely with the XSP team to complete a smooth and successful implementation.
-Chief Operating Officer The Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP)
