ABOUT XCEPTOR
Data is at the heart of everything we do: Xceptor has been designed around data manipulation in its broadest sense. We source data from wherever it flows. We curate, normalise, validate, repair, and enrich that data so it reaches its destination in a reliable and consistent format. Data coming out of Xceptor is data our clients can trust.
We are recognised as an expert in the Financial Services vertical, which strongly aligns with Business Users in Middle and Back-Office teams. We enable these users to solve their data challenges by themselves, rather than through a technology-led project.
Our mission - we empower business users within financial institutions to build automated processes that deliver trusted data.
Our values sit at the heart of our business, driving who we are and how we work. At Xceptor, we are:
- Client Centric; we prioritise our Clients’ experience and needs.
- One Team; we actively support one another to achieve our goals.
- Impactful; we focus, we innovate, we make every minute matter.
