Case studies

Real projects, real outcomes

Top 100 firm

200 systems, one operating layer

The pain

Growth and acquisition left a sprawling, unplanned estate — compliance had become a manual prayer across dozens of tools.

The solution

We consolidated core processes onto one governed operating layer, connecting legacy and cloud under full audit.

40% productivity gain · single audit trail
Financial services

Reconciliation at enterprise scale

The pain

Month-end spanned five days across disconnected systems, with real regulatory exposure if a close slipped.

The solution

Automated reconciliation end-to-end with guardrails, monitoring and evidence capture for the regulator.

90% less processing time · zero missed closes
Enterprise services

Legacy CCH, connected at last

The pain

A critical on-prem system “couldn’t” talk to the modern stack, forcing years of manual re-keying.

The solution

We built the integration others said was impossible — under change control, with no disruption to live work.

Manual re-keying eliminated · clean handover
