Why your firm needs a central database for success in the debt capital markets

DCM is growing rapidly. S&P Global Ratings Research predicts that $11 trillion in corporate debt will mature from 2022 to 2026.  

Deal capital markets (DCM) are pulsating with fresh, exciting opportunities for investment firms. But seizing them demands agility. You need streamlined systems that let you execute deals at lightning speed, all while keeping a firm grip on risk.  

Many DCM firms still use fragmented systems like spreadsheets and email to manage data. This old-fashioned method is not effective, making it hard for teams to find new information and effectively serve clients. Using these outdated systems often leads to data leakage that prevents firms from fully understanding client needs and market opportunities.  

Having a central database is crucial for success in debt capital markets. It connects data within the organization, making it clear for clients and the transaction process. Companies can use data to find patterns, personalize services, and make smart decisions for business deals. 

Vertical-specific CRMs with centralized databases help DCM professionals operate more efficiently. This system keeps all contacts, activities, and important information in one place, making data more accurate and consistent. It also helps teams work together better and communicate faster to close deals quickly. 

Enhance transparency, collaboration, and teamwork

To speed up deals, DCM professionals must easily share relevant information and updates with each other. A central database within your firm’s  deal and relationship management platform  can greatly increase transparency across teams, to transform firm wide knowledge into actionable intelligence.
