Monday, December 6th

• 10am ET / 3pm GMT. Product Control Common Template project
  
• The PCCT aims to construct a common template data model using Legend Studio (an approved open sourced data modelling tool that allows users to create data models in a graphical user interface).
• This common template data model will include all the attributes that each vendor is required to run their valuation process and return the consensus data to the banks.
• Banks can connect their daily pricing data to the industry approved model for submission and vendors can leverage the same model to provide the consensus data. Thereby, both the banks and vendors will communicate in the same common model language.
