Data migration

Migrate faster by automating the long tail

The goal of a trading platform migration is simple to state: constant cash flows and P&L at trade level between source and target systems. EasyRec gets you there in fewer cycles.

What must be reconciled

Every cycle, the full perimeter

Only live trades are migrated, live chains of transactions become single trades, dead trades become cash adjustments, and products move by position where possible. Each of these rules must be proven, cycle after cycle, with shared mappings and full repeatability.

A failed migration means wrong data at best, and massive cost overruns at worst.

  • Static data mapping: calendars, shifters, instruments, generators
  • Configuration: parties, portfolios, settlement and custody instructions
  • Market data and historical data, including fixings
  • Trade attributes
  • Past and future cash flows
  • P&L and market value
  • Risk sensitivities
  • Regulatory fields
The long tail

Turn every migration cycle into measurable progress

Early migration cycles usually deliver rapid improvements. Later cycles become harder, with large volumes of remaining trade-level breaks requiring repeated investigation and correction.

When EasyRec is integrated into the migration framework, recurring breaks can be addressed through bulk user actions. These actions are translated into native migration customisations and applied automatically when trades are imported in the next cycle.

This creates a continuous improvement loop, allowing each migration cycle to resolve a significant share of previously identified issues.

  1. Reconciliation breaks
  2. Bulk user actions
  3. Native customisations
  4. Next migration cycle
  5. Fewer breaks
Repeated every migration cycle, each one starting from fewer breaks

Bulk break correction

Users can apply corrective actions in bulk to groups of existing reconciliation breaks, rather than processing trades individually.

Native migration customisation

The selected actions are translated into native customisations that are applied during trade import in the next migration cycle.

Cycle-after-cycle acceleration

Previously identified issues are automatically addressed in subsequent runs, allowing analysts to focus on new breaks and significantly improving migration quality from one cycle to the next.

Benefits

Up to ~40% estimated acceleration on complex projects

Actual benefits depend on the complexity of the migration.

Secure the go-live date

Converge to production-grade match rates in fewer iterations, with no disruption to ongoing business.

Leaner teams

Fewer people needed to investigate breaks by hand.

Reusable assets

Mappings and templates carry over from cycle to cycle and into BAU.

Full traceability

Audit trail and rollback at every step of every cycle.

Proven

Vendor-to-vendor migrations

A major US broker in New York chose EasyRec to migrate its trading platform between two software vendors. The project required reconciling agnostic data across P&L, static data, trades, payments, nostro and cash flows, with multiple mappings to bridge the naming conventions of both systems.
