Back Office Integration
Inforalgo offers a suite of integrated modules that addresses the interfacing requirements between Bloomberg TOMS and Back Office or Downstream systems.
• A Single “Front Layer” handles all interfacing and communications to and from Bloomberg. This includes Real-time/Batch downloading of Trades, Securities, Positions, Prices etc. as well as Real-time uploading of Offerings, Counterparties, Orders, Executed Trades, Positions, Cash and Corporate Actions
• A Data Feed Repository that records all data to/from Bloomberg at the latest release levels and provides easy access to authorized users to view this data on a Web enabled, client configurable “Universal Viewer”
• A Real-time Selection & Routing Engine that populates the required target systems with correctly mapped data. By holding a status of each record the routing engine can sequence records through multiple systems – only sending to the next system when successfully processed by the previous one
• For downstream systems on a previous level of data feed there is a translation process, if required, to convert the data to the appropriate version level. This takes away the requirement to continuously upgrade legacy systems to the latest Bloomberg data feeds but allows other parts of the business to benefit from the latest available data and functionality
• Any master data changes can be provided to the target systems by field
• A User Interface & Control layer that populates each of the target systems with correctly mapped data. This process is monitored for successful completion and any transactions that are not successfully processed are placed in error queues for subsequent attention, adjustment and re-processing
• A Monitor/Control Panel supervises all Inforalgo interface applications running on the user’s network. It contains all the necessary functionality to monitor and control the various tasks on the servers including start/stop and parameter driven settings of each interface. There are nine screens of information with each task and these are displayed in convenient “Tab” format. They cover every item of information ranging from Protocol Status and last heartbeat through to Timers and which screens are to be displayed with which tasks
