The challenge

The customer uses Calypso as a centralised settlement platform for a wide range of asset classes (FX/MM, interest rate derivatives, credit derivatives, commodities, etc.). The platform is part of an application landscape that is used front-2-back for the trading and settlement of financial products in investment banking. The complexity of a release change results from functional, technical and process-related dependencies, both for the Calypso platform and the extensive interfaces to neighbouring systems.

The solution

Project approach
A key success factor is a structured project approach.
Project management: classic and agile
iSYS provides support in (partial) project manager roles and as a scrum master. Release changes for a large trading platform require expertise and experience in the appropriate use of classic and agile project procedures (e.g. agile implementation of changes, classic test procedure for rollout into production).
Business analysis
Our business analysts translate the specialised requirements into system solutions.
Business analysis: technical and system expertise in dialogue
Our business analysts speak on an equal footing with the specialist departments and are platform experts. During a release change, they ensure that the functional requirements are also available after migrations. Always keeping an eye on satisfied users.
Technical implementation
Our developers and system engineers support the release change in the areas of development and customising, test automation and IT infrastructure.
