David Poston showed the position manage= r to me, Cara Semperger, and Phil Platter. Dave suggested that the new posi= tion manager would replace the current stand-alone position managers in CAP= S and Enpower. When Dave and I ran through the demonstration, I was told th= at the East desk had driven most of the development work to date. The funct= ionality of the position manager in the stage Dave presented to me seemed u= seful, with little development needed for us to implement it. The position = manager looked like it would offer several improvements over Real-Time's cu= rrent position and report reconciliation methods. My impression of the appl= ication was that it would be a portion of FSP when implemented and was not = a stand alone application. Within a week after demostrating the new positio= n manager, Dave relayed to me that production of the position manager would= be delayed until after FSP was in production. As a result of the FSP delay= , I have heard nothing of the position manager and have had no input on it = since that first meeting. I think this application (as I saw it last) has t= he potential to improve our reports and reduce our time spent running them.= This application should be of benefit to preschedulers, risk and deal cont= rol. Now that the position manager is back on the table, I would like the r= eal-time group to be involved in the implementation of this portion of FSP = and work to improve its ability to act as a report reconciliation tool. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks, Bill
