Client Onboarding

Transformational change is hard – early inclusion of an independent data validation service provider reduces client onboarding risks

The most painful part of Middle-Office outsourcing for both Vendor & Client is getting to the actual live cross-over date. This date is typically delayed and further delayed due to unresolved data differences between legacy systems and the new environment.

These delays cause migration costs to rocket, critical resources to be compromised, other business opportunities to be delayed for both parties, and a concern about key data quality before the Middle Office functions ever migrate.

These challenges put a lot of strain on both parties and frequently cause finger-pointing issues over who has the ‘clean data’. The IKINDI team experienced this difficult situation directly when they worked in the business and brought this expertise to bear to develop The IKINDI KTier™ smart investment data highway in the cloud with:
