Data Automation | Seamless Data Integration | Regulatory Reporting

A client operating multiple companies across different regions needed to consolidate financial and regulatory data efficiently. 

While Business Central (Navision) provided strong reporting features, it was designed to work per entity, making multi-company reporting complex and manual.

A leading financial institution needed to migrate from Microsoft Dynamics NAV to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC)—a crucial upgrade for scalability and efficiency. 

But a failed migration could mean:

✅ Regulatory non-compliance
✅ Inaccurate financial reports
✅ Disruptions to critical operations 

A global bank’s offshore jurisdiction was burdened with numerous SQL Servers and excessive licensing costs. Despite holding Enterprise licenses, they were not using any of the advanced features, leading to wasted expenses. 

Additionally, their initial plan to move to the cloud proved too costly, prompting them to seek a cost-effective, scalable solution from DDS.

A financial institution relied on an Alteryx-based workflow solution developed by a third party to capture and process data for FATCA and CRS regulatory reporting. 

The existing process was cumbersome, error-prone, and heavily reliant on a single expert, creating significant operational risk. 

A Global bank was relying on an outdated version of Finscan for Watchlist Screening, which involved cross-checking customers and transactions against global watchlists, sanction lists, and politically exposed persons (PEP) databases. 

The system was no longer supported, lacked the latest features, and was not fully integrated with the bank's current source systems. The outdated system presented significant risks in ensuring compliance and maintaining up-to-date screenings.

DDs delivered a data automation solution providing a seamless data integration to satisfy their current regulatory reporting as well as assisting their business growth through monetisation.

A security team faced significant challenges in tracking application permissions and obtaining timely attestations from data owners to confirm appropriate user access. 

The process was heavily reliant on spreadsheets, manual imports, and periodic reviews, which only happened once every three months. 

Due to the complexity, the team struggled to keep up with the workload, and there was simply not enough time to ensure accurate and consistent oversight.

A leading financial institution relied on an outdated banking system, with each seat license costing $1,800. 

Facing a $900,000 renewal cost for 500 licenses—despite an upcoming system replacement.

The company needed a way to cut costs without disrupting operations. 

A client utilising the Nexus investment platform faced limitations with its generic reports, which were costly to customise and upgrade. 

The reliance on standard reports the hindered their ability to meet specific management information (MI) needs and adapt to evolving business requirements.

They needed flexibility and control on their own data.
