The company

As many clients are shifting towards an Oracle database, we have decided to become ORACLE "Partners", which enables us to introduce Acumen to the Oracle economy while building our Oracle competency. This should help us enhance our value proposition to existing clients and prospect clients.

On a technical point of View, LOGIN-Acumen and Oracle are partners since 2000 because Acumen runs on Oracle server databases since then.

ORACLE is also a shareholder, and a functional partner: it’s back-office system Flexcube is totally integrated with LOGIN-Acumen to offer clients a complete STP solution for front to back functions.

LOGIN-Acumen and Numerix have developed in 2006 a partnership to enlarge the pricing capacities of Acumen. Models written by Numerix are linked to Acumen via APIs developed specifically by LOGIN, showing directly in Acumen the value of the structured deal.

This concerns interest rate, exchange rate and equity related exotic deals such as Cliquet options, Index linked CMS spread notes, Snowballs and Snowblade deals, Target Redemption Notes (TARN), Range Accrual Notes, Power Reverse Dual Currency deals (PRDC), callable CMS swaps and notes, etc.

Currently two LOGIN clients are using the Numerix tool to price their exotic deals in Acumen (interest rate, exchange rate and equity related exotic deals).
