We don’t just manage all of the pricing and risk analytics, but can incorporate specialist information such as weather data, as inputs into market models.

Our in-built calculation engine, model integration capabilities and data validation workflows can underpin any information services – including value-added analytics and evaluated pricing – through the creation and distribution of high-value data.

How Can We Help Your Business?

Regulatory and Commercial Reporting

For many years Xenomorph has monitored and controlled the flow of data from the point of ingestion to the point of consumption. More recently this functionality has been used to support reporting on regulatory challenges such as BCBS 239, FRTB, and MIFID etc.

A new reporting module enables market data commercial managers and systems administrators to fully understand what data is being consumed, and who is consuming it. As a result of this analysis clients can review, understand, attribute per consumer and optimise their market data consumption resulting in reduced costs compared to those performing similar tasks in alternative platforms.

Business Innovation

Xenomorph has over twenty years of experience developing front office data management solutions to cater for the most demanding business user requirements. Whether you’re a trader, quant, portfolio manager or research analyst – we get the data and analytics you need into your chosen application environment.

Xenomorph solutions cater to a complete range of use cases – from analysing portfolio performance, correlations, custom indices and baskets, through to constructing credit curves and volatility surfaces. We support a full range of data types, from the most complex time series analytics and intra-day tick data down to static reference data. And users can choose to analyse that data via a complete range of front-end technologies – whether that be Excel, Power BI or Tableau, analytical toolkits like Numerix, Fincad or Matlab, or proprietary and third party applications.

What Are the Benefits for Your Systems Architecture?

Rationalised Infrastructure

Systems and data integration is a key challenge for all technology managers, irrespective of the size or complexity of an organisation. That is why Xenomorph offers such a valuable resource.

With a range of pre-built handlers, Xenomorph solutions are capable of integrating data from all leading data vendors, along with any number of proprietary data sources. All of that content can then be stored via a choice of database technologies (including SQL and NoSQL), and interrogated using a common query language that recognises business logic and semantics. Finally, a range of distribution options are available to ensure validated, cleansed data can easily flow into any downstream applications or models.

Reduced Operational Risk

Data underpins the operations of every financial institution – so when data is left un-checked, it poses significant operational risks. To address those risks, firms need systems and processes to ensure data sources are properly validated.

Nowhere is the operational risk of data more prevalent than in the way firms use spreadsheets. Xenomorph provides a platform to address the intrinsic risks associated with spreadsheet use. For firms that want to continue using spreadsheets, but simply mitigate some of the risks involved, the platform provides an Excel API to ensure models are fed with validated data.
