The Black Art of Reference Data Distribution
Cliff Cunningham and John Randles
The challenge of controlling Reference Data Distribution is often underestimated. It can be a highly complex equation to manage, depending on the number of asset classes and downstream systems in play. The difficulty rapidly escalates when you add the intricacies of the Golden Copy message, the various nuances of individual asset classes and the interdependencies of the downstream systems. This paper addresses the:
- Complexity associated with Reference Data Distribution
- Difficulties with EAI/ETL tools
- Driver to turn Reference Data Distribution into a competitive advantage.
The ROI – PolarLake RDD and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)
John Randles
This paper compares the experience of using PolarLake RDD in a real world project against the customer’s estimates to do the same project that were based on traditional EAI technologies. All measures are based on the IT implementation effort and do not take into account consequential business benefits such as higher STP rates, operational efficiencies etc.
Also it does not take into account the possibly exponentially higher build costs required when each individual line of business is responsible for the integration of their own pieces of Reference Data from a generic message to all systems.
