Financial institutions face increasing pressure to process trades at higher speeds, comply with complex regulations, and migrate from legacy systems to modern infrastructures. Post-trade operations remain fragmented, with manual interventions driving inefficiency, reconciliation errors, and regulatory risk. Decisions provided a low-code automation platform that allowed the company to build scalable workflows for exception management, data standardization, and regulatory reporting, enabling faster, more reliable post-trade services across asset classes and counterparties.
Challenge
Before implementing Decisions, the company faced:
- Manual Exception Resolution: Slowed settlement timelines and increased operational risk.
- Inconsistent Reconciliation: Varied processes created gaps in trade accuracy.
- Regulatory Complexity: Compliance with EMIR, SFTR, and CSDR created high reporting burdens.
- Data Silos: Information fragmented across brokers, custodians, and administrators.
- Accelerated Timelines: Industry transition toward T+1 settlement cycles demanded modernization.
Solution
Decisions was applied to deliver a modernized data exchange and compliance framework:
- Automated Exception Handling: Rules-driven workflows resolved breaks quickly and consistently.
- Standardized Data Processing: Unified trade and lifecycle data across multiple asset classes.
- Compliance Automation: Configurable workflows for EMIR, SFTR, and CSDR reporting.
