Project outline
- A leading global financial data provider’s analysts were spending 2-3 days each quarter manually processing private credit submissions.
- The team was caught in an endless cycle of data cleansing, enrichment, and PowerPoint reformatting for private credit institutions – valuable time that could be spent on strategic market analysis.
The Challenge
A global provider of financial markets data and infrastructure struggled with inefficient quarterly reporting. Specifically, their team of analysts was spending days each quarter processing contributor submissions through a complex front-end.
Moreover, these analysts were manually cleansing, enriching, and repackaging data into PowerPoint presentations for contributing institutions around the clock. This labor-intensive process consumed 2-3 days of valuable analyst time. Unfortunately, this time was spent on repetitive tasks rather than strategic analysis.
How StructureIt helped
StructureIt was asked to build a solution that could rapidly deliver a clear, quick return on investment. StructureIt delivered a cloud-based data ingestion platform that:
- Centralizes data collection from multiple disparate upstream data sources
- Automatically ingests, validates, and extracts data into a cleansed layer, consolidated into a single common normalised format with additional fields derived for analytic purposes
- Provides a generic configuration-driven solution that allows complete control and versioning of historical schemas within a database, enabling the extraction process to adapt to changing data structures over time
Through the solution’s configurable design, users can now validate new schemas and data independently, streamlining adaptation to new and evolving data sets.
StructureIt engineered an intelligent automation system that revolutionized quarterly private deal analysis reporting. As a first step, the solution automatically extracts data from a direct lending platform. Then, it leverages the GemBox Presentation library to update presentation charts with the latest market data. As a result, hours of manual work were reduced to minutes. The solution has been designed to allow for the seamless expansion to a complete analysis suite.
StructureIt’s approach went beyond simple automation. By standardizing formulas and eliminating manual “copy-paste” workflows, the solution removed the risk of human error entirely, improving the integrity of the data. All data now flows from a single, validated source to ensure consistency across every report and analysis.
“This enables our analysts to spend more time analyzing the data and gathering insights that will be valuable to our clients, rather than just performing manual repetitive tasks.”
