DESCRIPTION
Our client, the treasury department of a financial services company, used a series of spreadsheets to validate proposed treasury trades against compliance rules.Concerned at the ever-increasing amount of time the existing process was taking, DataConsulting was engaged to develop a system to validate proposed treasury trades against pre-defined rules.A secure, robust and flexible application was built - with reporting suite into Excel and PDF - that ensures compliance with company rules, thereby reducing risk.

Project so far
Commissioned in Sep 2010 to develop tactical application to replace spreadsheet recording of treasury deals
We chose a .NET/SQL CE/WinForms architecture to avoid recognised issues with Excel spreadsheets (and Access databases)
Intended to be lightweight, easy-to-use, robust and reliable – but not full-scale, business critical system implementation
Specification and development started in September
– Should have involved TDW IT sooner...JL off for paternity leave end of September, AP carried on development in absence to meet end of October deadline
