Data integration

Connect the data behind your business

Bring together operational data that is spread across books and records, prime brokerage, stock loan, repo, funding, collateral, and risk systems.

Fluent integrates positions, transactions, cash balances, reference data, contractual terms, and organizational hierarchies. Our sophisticated data processing and matching algorithms establish the relationships needed for deep analysis across sources.

Source systems such as books and records, stock loan, repo, prime brokerage, swap booking, treasury, margin, reference data, legal agreement, and finance systems feed seven business domains, which are combined into a unified data model.
Domain model

Establish a common business model

Different systems describe the same business in different ways. Fluent maps those sources into a normalized domain model of securities, cash, positions, transactions, clients, counterparties, and their relationships.

The model separates source-specific structures from business concepts. Analytical applications can work from a common representation while mappings accommodate the systems and conventions used in your organization.

Analytics and application framework

Shared engines and services

Fluent’s analytics and application framework provides shared capabilities for querying data, evaluating scenarios, producing reports, and controlling access.

High-performance query engine

Powered by Apache Druid, the query engine supports fast filtering, aggregation, and exploration of large analytical datasets across business dimensions.

  • Sub-second aggregation and filtering
  • Drill-down from firm totals to individual positions and contracts
  • Time-series analysis of daily snapshots and trends

Scenario engine

Evaluate what-if scenarios by changing positions, portfolios, and business assumptions.

  • Evaluate proposed baskets and allocation changes before execution
  • Apply client outflow, unwind, and market stress assumptions
  • Compare standalone and incremental impact side by side

Reporting framework

Produce consistent reports from the same model and calculations as the interactive applications.

  • Configurable report definitions and layouts
  • Scheduled distribution and on-demand exports
  • Figures that reconcile with what users see in the applications

Role-based access control

Manage access through defined user roles and permissions, aligning use of the platform with organizational responsibilities.

  • Permissions by role, business line, legal entity, and client
  • Data restrictions applied across applications and reports
  • Integration with enterprise identity and single sign-on
