Topics we cover
Where we go deep
T+1: operating model readiness
T+1 will compress post-trade timelines and expose weaknesses in data, process ownership, automation and third-party coordination. We help banks assess impact, define the target operating model and steer delivery across Operations, Front Office, Treasury, Risk and IT.
ISO 20022: beyond migration
ISO 20022 is not only a messaging standard — it is a foundation for richer data, automation and infrastructure modernization. We support data model alignment, interface design, release management, testing and governance across market infrastructure programs.
Transaction reporting: data quality & infrastructure
Transaction reporting quality depends on accurate data, robust controls and resilient infrastructure. We help banks test EMIR, MiFIR, SFTR and MMSR reporting, identify root causes and deliver remediation across business, data and technology layers.
Digital assets: strategy, governance and execution
Digital assets require strategic clarity, regulatory readiness and robust operating models. We support use-case prioritization, TOM and governance design, license preparation, new product approval and delivery through go-live and scale.
