During the COVID-19 pandemic, firms operating in the debt capital markets (DCM) realized that implementing integrated data systems is no longer just a nicety but a necessity. Managing several disparate and unique software platforms costs professionals a significant amount of time and effort, which in turn can lead to poor client service and satisfaction. Thankfully, technology and the development of vertical-specific CRMs allow firms to keep all contacts, activities, and other critical information in one place, making it easier for firms to operate efficiently. With DealCloud’s central database for deal and relationship management, DCM finance professionals can rely on a single source of truth to help them manage relationships, execute deals, and easily connect with external solutions and third-party data providers.

Firms must develop relationships with a wide array of professionals and firms at every stage of the transaction lifecycle.
