Transforming Data Management

client case studies

Polunin	Capital Partners

Overview

Polunin Capital Partners Limited (Polunin) needed to analyse price and fundamental data across a large number of market sectors including equity, balance sheet, income statement and product data. Polunin selected Xenomorph systems.

Polunin needed a data management solution to

  • Filter, research and analyse company fundamental and reference data
  • Manage, search and cross-reference this data across a large number of market sectors
  • Support price, reference, balance sheet, income statement and fundamental data in one flexible data model
  • Normalised access to the combined data in a wide variety of applications and interfaces.

"Xenomorph systems have pulled together a wide range of pricing and fundamental data into our valuation model. The flexibility and speed that Xenomorph's developers built into the system has greatly enhanced our analytical capabilities."

Julian Garel-Jones, Director, Polunin Capital Partners Limited

The solution

Polunin considered the idea of designing an in-house system, but rejected it due to the immediate need for high availability, robust architecture and first-class performance required by the large quantities of data needed to meet their analysis requirements and complement their investment strategies.

Using its systems’ architecture, Xenomorph demonstrated how Polunin could combine a powerful data management framework with the ease of use of spreadsheet analysis.

Normalised data from all sources can now be accessed directly through Xenomorph's powerful plug-ins for Excel, as well as a range of consistent APIs including Excel, VB, C/C++ and COM, into Polunin's own proprietary analytics systems. In addition, Polunin can now schedule automatic updates for all their data requirements from third party data feeds.
