Expertise
The platforms and disciplines we go deep on.
We are a broad consultancy with a small number of practices where we are genuinely specialist. If your problem sits inside one of these, we have already done it more than once.
Investment & trading platforms
Three platforms, and the data estate around them.
Front-to-back investment platforms are where a shortage of two or three people can stop a whole programme. These are the practices where we hold the deepest bench.
SimCorp
Dimension and SimCorp One — implementation, migration, IBOR, reporting and run support.
Charles River (CRD)
IMS implementation and upgrades, OMS and compliance rules, FIX connectivity and post-trade flows.
BlackRock Aladdin
Onboarding, Aladdin Studio and data extracts, risk and portfolio workflows, Provider integration.
We also staff the surrounding estate regularly: Bloomberg AIM and PORT, Enfusion, FIS and Eagle, Murex, Calypso, Avaloq, FNZ and SS&C. Ask and we will tell you honestly how deep we are.
AI & machine learning
Four practices, not one AI buzzword.
Most AI programmes do not fail on modelling. They fail on data readiness, production engineering and the evidence a regulator asks for. We staff all four.
Generative AI & LLM engineering
Retrieval architectures, agent workflows, evaluation harnesses and the unglamorous work of making a demo survive real users.
AI/ML platform & MLOps
Feature stores, training and serving infrastructure, monitoring and model lifecycle so models keep working after launch.
AI-ready data engineering
The pipelines, quality controls and semantic layers that decide whether any of the above is possible.
AI governance, risk & assurance
Model inventories, documentation, bias and robustness testing, and audit evidence for the EU AI Act and DORA.
Delivery, change & governance
The disciplines that make the technology land.
Platforms and models do not fail on their own. These are the capabilities clients ask us for alongside them.
Programme & PMO delivery
Programme and project managers, BAs and PMO leads for change that has a regulator or a board watching.
Target operating model & process
Redesigning how a function actually runs before automating it — operating model, process, controls, handovers.
Agile delivery & engineering practice
Scrum masters, delivery leads and coaches who improve throughput rather than run ceremonies.
Data governance & quality
Ownership, lineage and quality frameworks that make platform and AI investment defensible.
Regulatory & resilience change
DORA, operational resilience, ISO 27001 readiness and the remediation programmes that follow an audit.
Cloud & platform modernisation
Migration, cost control and platform engineering for teams stuck between legacy and target state.
