Business Challenge To reduce risks and increase the operational efficiency of the loan trading process, the client needed an automated workflow that insured compliance to best practices. The high-level requirements to support all aspects of the trade operations workflow included: uu Visibility to all credit and trade details for the entire loan lifecycle uu Visibility to key performance indicators via an executive dashboard uu Clearly demarcated task ownership and accountability to remove bottlenecks in the process uu E-mail alerts to task owners and counterparties uu Comprehensive executive and operational reporting to facilitate risk management uu Entitlement-based access to trade information to maintain a high level of confidentiality and security uu Design for easy integration to corporate business support systems uu Compatibility with other loan businesses
Luxoft Delivered Solution Luxoft’s development team established best-practice processes for communication and loan trade execution and built the workflow onto a robust enterprise architecture platform. Trade transactions are created, edited, confirmed, canceled, maintained, terminated, and reviewed; and flexible workflows were designed to support multiple types of trade tickets and task checklists, ensuring that changes to the business process flow are easily applied to the system. The new system communicates with other applications via an enterprise bus, allowing the seamless exchange of data. Reconciliation processes ensure data integrity between systems. Comprehensive risk and performance reporting provides the needed analysis information for both long-term strategic and day-to-day tactical operations. An advanced, rule-driven e-mail notification module ensures that all operations are tracked and that each process owner or counterparty is notified about the actions assigned to him or her.
