"Griffon has provided our group with an extremely powerful and flexible alternative to our original in-house pricing solution," said Keim C. Chew, Assistant Director of the Investment Information Management Group at DRCM. "Pricing Central allows us to perform more thorough verification tests on a larger number of securities in a much shorter period of time. This has enabled our group to spend more time researching some of the more difficult pricing issues, and less time on the more routine maintenance and retrieval tasks."
