For instance, market data from vendor files can be uploaded into the data warehouse in a matter of minutes without the need to write specialized scripts.

Business Rules Engine

Each client confronts specific business and operational challenges. VIA provides firms with the ability to construct and maintain a rules engine in order to help implement and automate business logic and requirements.

Process Flow Toolkit

One of the strengths of the VIA platform is empowering the existing human capital within each client and providing those professionals with the tools to provide first level support. Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provides clients with the tools to design and monitor workflow processes.

Custom Reporting

In addition to an array of standard reports, Opturo leverages the VIA platform to build and automate the creation of custom reports to meet each client’s specific reporting requirements, whether related to management, regulatory reporting, etc. The Opturo Envision reporting engine offers interactive visualization focused on customized business intelligence.

Data Validation & Reconciliation

The VIA platform includes data management modules which facilitate data reconciliation, as well as a data validation engine, which allows users to test and report on all data brought into VIA. Alerts and exports can be set based on a set of conditions that make up a validation rule, and data passed through this engine will exit unchanged after all tests are run.
