PMS / OMS Implementation & Platform Strategy

Building and implementing investment platforms is what we do best. From requirements definition and vendor selection through to full implementation, migration and go-live — we deliver end-to-end.

What We Deliver

  • Platform selection — requirements definition, RFP management, vendor evaluation and recommendation
  • Target operating model design — front-to-back process, people and technology design across client lifecycle, POM, compliance, risk and reporting
  • Architecture & integration design — data flows, API design, connectivity to custodians, prime brokers and administrators
  • Full implementation — configuration, data migration, parallel run, UAT, go-live
  • Post-implementation — optimisation, upgrades, BAU support and model office design
  • Merger & acquisition integration — platform rationalisation and operating model alignment across combined entities

Platform Agnostic

We are platform-agnostic and have worked across the leading PMS, OMS and data platforms in the market, including proprietary platforms. Our value is in the methodology, not the vendor.

Data Infrastructure & Integration

Investment platforms are only as good as the data flowing through them. We design and implement the data architecture, pipelines and integration layers that make PMS/OMS systems work — and keep working.

What We Deliver

  • Data strategy — IBOR/ABOR design, golden source definition, data ownership and governance frameworks
  • Data sourcing — vendor selection and connectivity (Bloomberg, Refinitiv, ICE, custodian and prime broker feeds)
  • Data pipelines — ingestion, transformation, cleansing, enrichment and distribution
  • Integration architecture — API design, message bus and event-driven architecture for investment operations
  • Reporting infrastructure — client, regulatory and internal reporting platforms and automation
  • Data cost rationalisation — vendor consolidation, licence renegotiation and usage audit

AI & Automation

AI & Automation for Investment Management & Operations
