A fully integrated data and innovation platform for Financial Services

https://cyoda.com/platform/

Whether you’re looking to consolidate, store & process complex data at huge scale, or whether you simply want to streamline the consolidation of disparate data for MI and analysis, our SaaS data platform can make the process simpler, easier and faster.

  • The low-code data platform that unlocks the return on your investments in innovation
  • From data silos to data mastery with easy & low-code to deliver change

Put data experts in the pilot seat

  • Configure pre-built data connectors to all standard data types (XML, JSON, SQL, flat files etc)
  • Set up ‘chaining’ to pull in secondary data, to validate and enrich primary data source(s)
  • Map simple data, using drag/drop linking and standard data transformers
  • Model bespoke data transformations, using a visual editor that allows non-coders to generate complex logic
  • Model data processing using graphical workflow
  • Consume data via API within any downstream target system (e.g. analytics, reporting)

Outcomes:

  • Integrate complex data sources within hours, (instead of weeks)
  • Self-documenting data transformations – transparent and visible to all;
  • Faster investigation of issues
  • Easier maintenance
  • Reduce dependency on internal/outsourced tech teams
  • Faster, lower cost delivery of new reporting requirements and adhoc analysis
  • Single, consistent, scalable platform, built to handle the most complex types of financial data
  • Distributed data store for Operations AND Analytics

    • The consistency and accuracy of a relational database combined with the scalability and performance of ‘big data’ technologies.
    • A single, consistent ‘golden source’ for all your business requirements, with full historical capability and lineage.
  • Scalable, low-code workflow to build applications

    • Workflow offers a fast, agile and transparent means to build applications, enabling close collaboration between Product, BA and development teams.
    • Our low-code workflow engine is unique in being 100% distributed & linearly scalable. That means no limits to the speed or scope of what you can run. And it comes with a visual designer that makes it super easy to use.
  • Complex reporting Super-fast & Scalable

    • Our low-code reporting engine is designed for the complex and computationally demanding requirements of Financial Services.
    • Run reports 1000s of times faster than on a relational DB.
