Did you know PolyPaths supports over eight different premium / discount amortization methodologies? From FAS91 implementation to specialty methods for callable instruments, we have worked with our clients over the years to develop a wide array of flexible methods to meet their accounting needs. Users can even disable amortization for full mark-to-market accounting. Clients can read about our different methods and the nuances associated with each in our ALM WebHelp here. Currently we are working on implementing a retrospective amortization method for our next ALM v7.11 release. Contact us at support@polypaths.com to let us know how we can help meet your accounting needs.
Did you know PolyPaths can be run on the Cloud? With a need to run various scenarios in these unprecedented times, we have seen interest in scaling computational power without having to procure the corresponding physical hardware. Our Cloud tools are robust and production-tested across a diverse array of environments. Interested clients are encouraged to watch our webinar here to learn more about Cloud best practices via a case study using Amazon Web Services. For users using AWS, we have also recently developed a cloud console web tool, PolyPaths Cloud Console (PCC), to help manage migration and administration of cloud installs for either Distributed Processing or Enterprise environments.
