The competitive pressure has led majority of the back office service providers to turn to Straight-through Processing (STP) to increase speed and efficiency with which trades are processed and settled and to reduce risks and costs associated with trade processing. STP is a much-beleaguered term in the securities industry as it has been used for a wide range of technologies, products, and business objectives. The objective is well understood increase efficiency of trade processing to enhance customer service, cut costs, and increase profits. Despite significant IT investments, there is lot of room to improve at every stage of trade processing from order initiation to settlement. The back office service providers need to constantly monitor operations, identify bottleneck s and take corrective measures. To successfully attribute any exception during back office trade processing, it is imperative to benchmark tasks and measure performance of each of the tasks against it. Any deviation necessitate s further investigatio n and provides scope for improvement. The conclusion is that any system that provides meaningful performance benchmark, appropriate tools, minimum service requirements, and information to monitor and manage business result will definitely add value to the end client. This paper analyzes a system that monitors the complete back office operation s involved with trade processing; evaluates robustness of processes and the efficiency of employed resources to manage the complete transaction lifecycle and yield optimum results at competitive cost. Straight-through Processing and its Challenges The concept of Straight-through Processing (STP) is not new. STP is seamless, electronic end-to-end processing that encompasses the entire life of a transaction or a business support process from execution through settlement and reconciliation, across the entire financial markets value chain. Ideally, with STP, once a trade is entered in the system, it never needs to be touched or manually administe red again, unless subject to legal and regulator y restrictions. With the number of participants involved in completing a trade transaction, it is important that all of them achieve high level of STP. However, it is extremely difficult to achieve enhanced efficiency in today s electronic and automated marketplace due to several factors: In order derive competitive advantage, investment firms continuously introduce new financial products with varying degrees of complex processing needs Trade volumes are continuously rising due to greater participation of retail and institutional investors Smaller lot sizes Decreasing margins per trade transaction are making any error in the process extremely expensive Operationally, there are far too many touch points, from order initiatio n through executio n and settlement, increasing the possibility of errors and the cost of manual intervention. With the proliferation of new products and multiple reference data providers, it is an added challenge to ensure data consistency between order initiation and settlement. The challenge is a much bigger one for global markets service provider. There are multiple regulatory and complianc e requirements which require investmen t processing firms to spend on resources. This in turn shifts the focus from improving operational challenges with trade processing. 3

It also enables more effective, fact-based conversations with the market units, solution groups and external clients. This in turn results in improved Service Level Agreements (SLA s) and enhnced client satisfaction. In the investment processing industry, getting an insight into the performance of the services being offered to clients is the key reason for the value proposition to be outsourced. The goal is to broaden the areas of focus, so as to include measurable elements like accuracy, productivity, volume, and timing. The service provider should provide the mechanics to analyze every error/ exception; enrich the exception with reasons; and enable the conversion of data into informatio n on a consisten t basis for managemen t reporting, internal quality assurance, analytics, and forecasting. The service provider often has multiple functional areas performing various back office tasks for its clients. Many of these functional areas are transaction driven supporting and managing millions of transactions per month. The transaction data is usually pulled from multiple systems or manually captured. In such cases, data errors and exceptions are a common occurrence. Therefore, data needs to be sanitized and organized in a form that can be easily analyzed and presented to the management so as to provide complete transparency into the efficacy of processes. The business benefits of such a system are immense. Building such a system provides enhanced client experience, by measured timely and accurate service performance data, to meet client s specific requirements. Components of a System The performance management system requires establishment of standardized processes for measuring service performance by capturing, enriching, and converting exception data into productive information. The core logic of such a system would be based on three levels of data: Functional Process Metrics: These metrics capture all incidents and exceptions that are inherent in each process that makes up the measures (accuracy, productivity, cost, volume and timing) Enrichment Coding: It reduces the manual effort of adding research clarification to an exception, such as an incident type, as well as the reason areas for root cause analysis and controllability Parsing of data: To enable conversion of data into information for more analytics The system should serve as a scorecard and benchmark the exception data in an automated fashion, saving several thousand man hours wasted in manual data preparation. This leads to higher service quality which in turn improves customer loyalty. 4
5 The common components of such a system should include the following: A user interface for maintenance of master data for entities related to exception A user interface for exception enrichment An approval process workflow for enriched and wrongly assigned exceptions A user interface for user administration module that defines user roles, team mappings and their function points. The system should support role based security at data level, report level and screen level. S.No Component Name Description Extract, Transform Load (ETL) Workflow Enrichment User Administration Master Data Error handling and alerts Authentication and Authorization Framework Business Analytics and Performance Reporting Engine Ad hoc reports and Dashboards Canned Reports Extraction of data from source system, transforming flat files to Normalized Database Structure and finally loading the data into the end target Logic and intelligence in the application to show only the relevant data to the user for enrichment or approval Framework and functionality that allows users to enrich data Framework and functionality that allows adding of organizations, teams, and users and maintaining their details on an ongoing basis Setup and maintenance of configuration data required for normal functionality of the system Allows for troubleshooting and quicker response to production issues Provide secure access to the application and defines who we can see and what we can do This engine is typically a tool like Business Objects, Cognos and Hyperion These are customized interfaces that provides rich user experience implemented on top of tools like Business Objects Reports that are generated out of the system in a pre-determined format with a limited selection criteria Performance Reporting System The ultimate goal of performance reporting system is to make sure that it automatically extracts pertinent exception data from appropriate systems; enriches this data with reasons; enables the conversion of data into information on a consistent basis for management reporting, internal quality assurance, analytics and forecasting. Typically performance management and exception reporting can primarily be done at four different levels: 1. Productivity 2. Accuracy 3. Incidents 4. Volume 5
6 Productivity Productivity reporting can be done at multiple levels depending on the client s preference. Basic reporting involves total active accounts per operation for a particular time interval. Potentially useful information can be obtained by reporting productivity at team level or at transactio n level. Reportin g should be customizable on daily, monthly or quarterly basis. Accuracy Accuracy metrics indicate count of total controllable exceptions occurring per transaction. Reporting can be done at multiple levels individual, team or business unit and for multiple periods daily, monthly or quarterly. Incidents Incident reporting aims at identifying the count of total reversals and the reasons associated with it. Reporting can be consolidated for all clients or done separately for each client. It can be done at multiple levels individual, team or business unit and for multiple periods daily, monthly or quarterly. Volume Volume reporting displays total count of transactions at daily/ weekly/ monthly or quarterly period for past one year. This reporting can again be done separately for Business units, teams, clients etc. How does NIIT Technologies solution work? NIIT Technologies has built an integrated solution that provides enhanced client experienc e by measurement of timely and accurate service performance data to meet every client s specific requirements. NIIT Technologie s has a built a four step Performanc e Management and Reporting System (PMRS). 1. Capture all Incidents and Volumes Most organization s have high volumes of incidents and exceptions in the system during trade processing. With the high volume of incidents, organizations fail to identify the root causes and establish preventative actions manually. Using the NIIT Technologies solution, all incidents can be easily captured, controlled and reported through a seamless workflow. 2. Classify s, Incidents The incidents, captured in the first step, are classified into various exceptions. Every error (exception) is analyzed and enriched with reasons. Once the errors are analyzed and enriched, the data is converted into information which be used for management reporting, quality assurance, analytics, and forecasting. 3. Report Generation and Analysis Our solution confidentl y reports on the quality, accuracy, timeliness, cost, and FTE efficiency measures of current exceptions data. 4. Publisher/ Dashboard It enables the users to view information in the form of user defined (ad-hoc), canned reports and dashboards in its end state. Capture All Incidents & Volumes Conclusion As exception/ error volumes rise in trade processing, it is not viable to rely solely upon manual intervention as the first line of defense. In the current market environment, where there is a premium on cost reduction and lowering risk, it is imperative, for firms to actively consider the implementation of appropriate performance management systems.
