The Mission

The Cash & Liquidity systems (Group Treasury) deal with multi-year (5+ years) projects to upgrade the new and legacy systems which would provide new ways to benefit from market shifts. The projects have multiple phases where we would be streamlining internal applications/flows and would be enhancing components/services to standardize flows towards the strategic cash and liquidity solution. Currently, we are working on the Cash & Liquidity Unite Engine (CLUE), part of CALM (Cash and Liquidity Management). CLUE component is a real-time pass-through system where all the interfaces towards cash & liquidity and payments applications would be directed towards CLUE and flows will be simplified and data will be provided to the strategic solution. CALM components can be seen as a type of normalization services that can scale up drastically with high availability. Current focus of the project is to onboard as many cash-flow systems as possible and to provide a highly available, highly scalable, resilient solution that can handle millions of messages.

We have following applications in our portfolio:

• Smart Predict – existing vendor solution for the Liquidity solution
• CALM with the following components:
  • CLUE
  • AGGREGATOR
  • CLUE_DUPLICATE_CHECK
  • KAFKA_ADAPTER
  • API_ADAPTER
  • CLUE_REPLAYER
  • Various testing suites
  • And others like message simulators, reference checks, Prometheus component and libraries
