Client Challenge:
A large global Fintech organization headquartered in New York providing Capital Market technology to financial institutions with advanced risk capabilities across asset classes such as; risk identification and analysis, trade lifecycle event handling, complex derivatives pricing and market data management had a need to modernize their IT infrastructure.

Problem: 
The company footprint was expanding globally and the client had an on-premise IT infrastructure that was not delivering the performance and scale they needed to keep teams working efficiently. In addition to requiring more IT modernization, the teams also needed transparency into cost and budgeting.  Last but not least with a shifting regulatory environment, the client was facing more data privacy laws and regulations in region and in-country. They needed an outside team that could help guide them to meet the compliance and governance requirements swiftly not manually.
