Challenge

A key project for this global asset and wealth management firm was to build a best execution reporting and monitoring solution, which would ensure the business remained compliant with regulations. The decision was made to create a cloud-based solution using AWS, and the firm selected us to build it.

Outcome

The platform we produced for this firm handles data from various sources, extracting it, transforming it in the cloud and presenting it in a consumable format for third-party applications. The business is able to better monitor its compliance and profitability and auditing has been made easier.

Trading places

A global asset management firm had successfully grown their business both organically and through various mergers and acquisitions. For their in-house technology team, this meant managing a number of different systems that had been forged together with no clear strategic direction.
 
The team started working with Endava to create a thorough architectural review that highlighted exactly what was in the estate, how it all fit together and how critical each element was to the business. Recommendations were made by Endava’s experts about which applications to retire, which could be maintained, and which needed to be refactored.

Making a break for the cloud

A key project for the team was to build a best execution reporting and monitoring solution which would ensure the business remained compliant with important regulation like MiFID II. The decision was made to create a cloud-based solution using AWS, and the firm selected Endava to build it from scratch, in partnership with the internal technology team.

 

By thinking strategically about the desired future state of the solution, Endava designed and architected a highly flexible, robust and scalable platform that took advantage of a number of AWS’s offerings that were identified as important by the firm.

 

Taking onboard the technology team's existing experience in .NET, the entire solution was built using the .NET Core framework. The platform is serverless, meaning it takes full advantage of AWS’s flexible consumption models, keeping the running costs significantly lower than more traditional EC2 set-ups. By selecting a Serverless platform, the focus is on the application and not the infrastructure, which results in highly scalable, highly responsive and easily maintained applications tailored to business goals.

It's about the journey and the destination
