Exchange-Driven Changes (EDCs) have the potential to create a continual state of flux for firms as they try to stay on top of the ongoing cycle of changes generated by exchange mandatories. They require careful end-to-end management and dedicated resources to assess and implement, and all this is to simply maintain the status quo for a firm.
