Challenges

Big data, diverse sources, and zero false positives

Big data & morning cut-off
Over 3 million records to reconcile daily and a closure SLA before 08:00: the process must be extremely high-performing and parallelizable
Heterogeneous sources & complex mapping
Flows from sources such as XTP, Murex, Tbricks, SIRE, ARMUNDIA Asset Shaper generate different formats and schemas that require normalization, enrichment, and governance of matching keys
Audit-proof accuracy and tracking
Even minimal discrepancies can impact P&L and margins; zero-false-positive controls and a complete audit trail are needed to satisfy auditors and regulators
