Centres of Excellence

Andile has partnered closely with Calypso (now Adenza) over many years, on platform support, market development and new business initiatives.

This has evolved into a full Managed Services partnership where Andile hosts the infrastructure, sells the software licenses, and supports and services our clients throughout their multi-year agreement periods.

Not only does Andile provide full support for Adenza’s market leading Trade and Treasury platform Calypso, but this heavy-hitting partnership, with its exceptional implementation track record, has also jointly developed a target operating model for Central and Investment Banks across Africa.

Andile has built a close partnership with Singapore-based FinMechanics, a next generation, cross-asset platform that offers microservice-based architecture and cloud-hosted agility.

FinMechanics gives Banks a combination of next-generation technology, agile squads and client-focused policies, delivering integrated advisory and IT services, such as IFRS or FRTB compliance, Solution Design, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain solutions for financial institutions.

This ultra-modern microservice-based system architecture allows clients to address their regulatory and operational needs in a timely manner, with minimum impact on architecture, allowing Banks to fully migrate to working in the cloud.

Front Arena is the oldest and most established Centre of Excellence within Andile. It is a highly specialised business unit that provides cross-asset position keeping, pricing, settlement and risk-related system solutions within Capital Markets from Front-to-Back-to-Risk.

The Front Arena business does not only assist with Run and Change the Bank initiatives that emerge relating to position keeping and risk management, but also specialises in replacing and/or integrating the system with more agile, cloud-native solutions, giving our Partners the necessary competitive advantage in an ever-evolving regulatory environment.

Our success is based on our deep Capital Markets domain and system knowledge as well as how we always strive for excellent service. This leads to deep trust in our Client relationships.

"The Sasfin culture demanded an adaptable approach, we were growing and entering new markets so we needed a flexible infrastructure that would enable us to extend the products we offer both to our internal and external clients.
At the same time, we needed to future proof ourselves on regulation and have the right ‘product runway’ in place to do bigger and different types of deals. With Andile’s managed services solution, powered by the Calypso platform, we now have a fully serviced and localised product that caters to our market, with international best practice built-in."

Josh Souchon, Group Chief Information Officer, Sasfin

We greatly value Andile’s investment in the Calypso platform, and above all have enjoyed the interaction with everyone at Andile over the years.”

Philippe Carré, Global Head Strategic Alliances, Adenza

“We looked for a partner who would understand our offering, help increase our geographic reach and who had a proven project execution track record. Andile, with their many years of Capital Markets experience was a great fit for us. Together, we achieve a lot.”
