Case Study: Consolidation of custody platforms

Our team conducted a gap analysis to identify risks and issues across the programme. We provided an Agile test methodology based on 3-week sprints to provide immediate, measurable results.

 


The challenge

A tier 1 investment bank faced a tight deadline to achieve regulatory guidelines set for OTC reporting. They approached us to identify a plan with clear deliverables to meet the deadlines.

  • A common issue was the shortage of available and qualified testing experts who could devise the strategy and approach needed for rapid delivery.
  • In addition to this, the client needed experts to bridge the gap between users and UAT testing.
