F&C Investments - Front to back office integration


“Following a swift implementation, Cadis has enabled us to migrate to a single trading platform, immediately delivering a return on our investment & improving business efficiency across the board,” said an information architect at a large global asset manager. “The Cadis EDM platform has not only given us the ability to deliver immediate benefits to our business, but also a solid foundation to deliver our strategic goal of providing timely, accurate, complete & consistent data to our core applications.” 

  • This large global asset manager has grown via acquisition over many years & had multiple trading, risk & compliance systems across the organisation
  • Cadis was purchased to facilitate a strategy of standardising the front office environment for portfolio management, trading, compliance & risk across multiple back office systems
  • The key initial challenge was combining, cleansing & providing all the data required by the data governance organisation as well as the new trading, compliance & risk systems being implemented in parallel with Cadis. This spanned across securities, prices, issuers, positions, indices, trades, etc
  • The project was run in parallel across multiple teams and projects on the same single instance of Cadis. The first phase was live in approximately four months with initial flows of data going to the single platform occurring on a daily basis from the first month onwards
  • Cadis is facilitating a complete data management solution across multiple back offices feeding a single global trading, risk & compliance platform for the entire organisation in a twenty-four-seven environment
