Middle-Office Analytics Integration

Analytics & Client Reporting
System Implementation

Transforming complex middle-office designs into high-performance production realities. We configure and deploy industry-standard portfolio analytics engines, ex-ante factor risk systems, and automated client disclosure templates—establishing precise database ingestion gates and verifying calculation parity with zero operational downtime.

Phase 01

Governance & Target Operating Model

Standard Duration: 2 - 3 Weeks

Establishing project governance and a clear Target Operating Model (TOM) is the foundation of a successful implementation. We align key business stakeholders, nominate integration owners, and map legacy operations against optimal future-state databases.

Technical Deliverables

Governance RACI Chart

Documents matrix ownership across systems owners, custodians, accounting teams, and developers.

TOM Definition Blueprint

Illustrates future-state data feeds, subledger configurations, and downstream report boundaries.

Phase Action Checklist

  • Designate corporate lead architects for portfolio data, ledger integrations, and compliance.
  • Establish technical steering committees and set up cross-organization change control pipelines.
  • Document target operating model parameters and define system SLAs.
Phase 02

Requirements & Functional Design

Standard Duration: 3 - 4 Weeks

A failure to audit database parameters and transaction schemas leads to costly pipeline errors. We map historical records, detail target schema conversions, and perform comprehensive gap analyses.

Technical Deliverables

Functional Requirements (FRS)

Comprehensive requirements list mapping portfolio setups, fee structures, and multi-currency rules.

Schema & Interface Control

Specifies physical interfaces, data formats, API parameters, and transmission paths.

Phase Action Checklist

  • Perform schema audits on active ledger databases, mapping all custom fields.
  • Define schema rules to convert legacy transaction logs to new ledger parameters.
  • Draft requirements for downstream risk analytics, performance attribution, and customer portals.
Phase 03

Integration & Feed Build

Standard Duration: 4 - 6 Weeks

Building resilient data feeds and ETL routines guarantees continuous automated system syncs. We construct custom data connectors, set up SFTP pipelines, and deploy validation scripts.

Technical Deliverables

ETL Integration Pipelines

Production SQL/Python code mapping custodian files to system ingestion staging areas.

Custodian SFTP/API Links

Secure connections to bank feeds, payment gateways, and trading platforms.

Phase Action Checklist

  • Establish automated file transfer loops with secure encryption keys.
  • Configure ingestion code to handle transaction records, trial balances, and fee profiles.
  • Build initial validation tests checking currency codes, account integrity, and record balance.
Phase 04

Migration & Verification

Standard Duration: 4 - 5 Weeks

Historical ledger data must be cleansed, transformed, and validated against legacy balances. We load historic master files and run parallel ledger balancing cycles to guarantee audit-ready data.

Technical Deliverables

Cleansed Historical Master

Validated database files containing audited historical records and ledger closures.

Parallel Run Balance Log

Daily audits proving accounting calculation parity between legacy and new ledgers.

Phase Action Checklist

  • Migrate historical ledger and transactional datasets, resolving orphan records.
  • Audit balances at month-end periods to verify data integrity.
  • Execute daily parallel reconciliation cycles to mathematically prove calculation parity.
Phase 05

Process Controls & Testing

Standard Duration: 3 - 4 Weeks

Deploying error traps and validation check thresholds protects the system from incoming bad data. We design exception handling dashboards, run stress tests, and conduct user training.

Technical Deliverables

Exceptions Dashboard

Live console displaying ingestion variances, bank feed drops, and schema errors.

Sign-Off QA Reports

Audited testing matrices validating system performance under peak volumes.

Phase Action Checklist

  • Configure alert thresholds for transaction differences, fee deviations, and data gaps.
  • Perform end-to-end integration dry runs simulating month-end accounting closures.
  • Conduct training workshops for the operations and accounting support teams.
Phase 06

Deployment & Hypercare Support

Standard Duration: 2 Weeks (Cutover) + 30 Days Hypercare

The transition to production is managed using detailed step-by-step cutover logs. Following live cutover, we deploy integration engineers to verify data balance logs and provide support.

Technical Deliverables

Weekend Cutover Log

Comprehensive chronogram specifying deployment actions, validation nodes, and rollback paths.

Hypercare SLA Agreement

Dedicated engineer resource schedules, response times, and daily verification reports.

Phase Action Checklist

  • Execute cutover steps including final database transfers, feed routing, and API checks.
  • Initiate live system tracking, running parallel check logs for the first 10 business days.
  • Transition ongoing platform administration tasks to our Maintenance & Support desk.
