"An extensive knowledge and proven delivery expertise in commodities matched with Murex systems specialisms was a prerequisite to rapidly understand, design and develop the complex risk management and pricing toolsets."
MapleRisk partnered with the client to rapidly enable the new Commodities trading desk, provisioning custom pricing tools, risk management views and analytics whilst maintaining the existing services and minimising the impact on the growing FICC business with complex day-to-day operations.
MapleRisk were able to deliver a full suite of bespoke functionalities for FICC trading. Pre-deal pricing and analytics, Risk and PnL reporting, risk-matrix based stress-testing along with the complete underlying Murex base configuration to fully enable all key stakeholders; FO, Risk, Quants, IPV and Operations.
Using an Agile DevOps methodology requirements that would otherwise require separate project budgets such as complex cross-commodity Risk views, detailed PnL attribution breakdowns, bespoke Markit Totem submissions, QA validation of Murex patches and upgrades, FLEX related analytics and value-at-risk implementations can all be handled within the business-as-usual cycle.
"The Bank required business expertise and Murex advisory services to enable a root and branch restructuring of its enterprise equities platform. The strategic direction envisaged a significant simplification in the platform’s operational overhead."
MapleRisk enabled a strong collaborative and open working environment between Murex and the client’s Business, Transformation, IT and delivery teams to develop a focused program of work. We helped in removing key man risk by providing access to specialist core competencies under a long term flexible resourcing plan rather than seek to build ad hoc high cost short term capacity.
MapleRisk utilised an Agile DevOps methodology to build cohesive processes to deliver targeted iterative improvements utilising both onsite and offsite specialist resources. As well as helping to develop in-house skillsets through training, mentoring and active engagement in the continuous improvement cycle.
Key outcomes include: a restructured platform that reduced future upgrade cost by up to 60%, front-office engagement improved business confidence in the system, More stable development and maintenance cycle, which removed the uncontrolled peaks and troughs found in the traditional non-integrated IT centric big bang approach to the upgrade cycle.
"The bank decided that in order to provide best-in-class service they needed to transition from their labour intensive legacy client reporting solution to an automated platform to provide information to their clients in business real-time available through a digital portal."
We rationalised the data model by establishing a single source using Murex native functionalities away from layers of business logic embedded in shell scripts, stored procedures, system extracts, and spreadsheets. As a result, the consolidated data source can now be refreshed in business real-time.
We implemented a reporting dashboard so that the business and operations can visualise the same set of data shared with clients creating a streamlined workflow. We successfully deployed a new client reporting suite using standard Murex functionalities removed multiple external layers, improved supportability, and delivered a scalable solution
Key outcomes include: Achieve automatic refresh of data in business real-time (~10 minutes) made possible by a netted and tuned platform. Consolidate business logic from disparate sources into the core system with Murex enabled a streamlined workflow and made the solution digital portal ready. Implement easy reports visualisation via Murex GUI, which enabled faster client interaction, business analytics, and data sharing.
