Performance, high availability, scalability, up-to-dateness and maintenance efficiency are just a few of the requirements for today's mostly very complex application and system landscapes at financial service providers. Constant new requirements from regulatory authorities, continuous measures to ensure IT security and technology changes, as well as challenging functional requirements, mean that application managers are constantly faced with new challenges.

Market data and financial information in general are a central element in the capital markets value chain, the basis for almost all trading decisions and a link between market participants. The costs associated with market data are correspondingly high.

With the tarics+ Multi Vendor Distribution & Contribution platform, we offer our customers the possibility to use data from different vendors in applications via an identical interface technology. This allows data to be used in the company with the best possible quality and low costs.

The authorization system integrated in tarics+ enables all data to be distributed to specific user groups. In addition, the authorization systems DACS from Refinitiv and DART from VELA are supported.

tarics+ has interfaces to the market data inventory systems InfoMatch from TRG-Screen and finoffice from BST to give users an overview of all existing contracts and the actual use of the market data.

Features of tarics+ at a glance: 

  • Distribution platform for data from different vendors
  • Support of internal and external contribution
  • Data transformation, calculation, enrichment (controlled with a web UI)
  • Reduction of updates for individual buyers (conflation)
  • Excel Plugin
  • Operable as on-premise or AWS cloud solution

In portfolio management, users may be able to reach the goal with Excel, but it will rarely be comfortable or performant. In environments where several employees maintain data in parallel, such solutions finally reach their limits, at the latest when regulatory requirements also have to be adequately taken into account. Often, however, "large" solutions are completely oversized, both in terms of functionality and in terms of price and administrative effort.

Our portfolio management system Q-bonds was developed based on many years of experience in projects with large investment banks. We have implemented the essential functions of Tier 1 portfolio management systems in a compact and highly efficient package for our customers. The solution is tailored to institutional investors with extended requirements for audit security and reporting to capital providers and supervisory authorities. In recent years, we have worked closely with our clients to fully integrate real estate as an asset class, enabling a holistic view of the investment portfolio.

In addition, the Q-risk extension offers a flexible limit monitoring system to improve risk transparency. From report generation and risk monitoring to risk assessment, Q-risk is the ideal solution for your risk controlling. 

Your advantages at a glance: 

  • Customized software product for your portfolio and risk management 
  • Professional exchange of experience in developer conferences 
  • Setup and maintenance of interfaces 
  • Support for data maintenance 
  • Automated data backup 
  • System administrative support
