Case Study

Global-FInancial-Services

This Global Financial Services Company Uses Astera to Overcome the Challenges of Complex Client Data Integration.

Background

This diversified financial services holding company has subsidiaries worldwide engaged in investment and financial planning and investment banking. They also manage client assets exceeding a total of 400 billion dollars.  

Use Case

With more than 6,000 financial advisors serving more than 2.5 million accounts in more than 2,500 locations throughout the United States, Canada, and overseas, the IT team for this company takes care of daily mass account transfers from incoming clients. Most of these clients have disparate data systems that use various formats. Frequently, data does not conform to existing layouts, causing delays in validating and processing. With new clients joining the company on a daily basis, they urgently needed a solution for delays in onboarding and transferring data. 

“Astera has saved our company significant programming time and resources. With our former tool we would have had to build complicated SSIS packages to transform huge amounts of disparate incoming data. There aren’t a lot of bugs in Astera and it works as advertised. Astera serves all of our complex data integration needs.”
