Case Study: FIIG (Fixed Income Investment Group) achieves an integrated, real-time financial platform and faster reconciliations with Avanade's Microsoft Dynamics AX

Avanade helps Fixed Income Investment Group develop an integrated financial platform for growth

Fixed Income Investment Group (FIIG) is one of Australia’s largest fixed‑income specialists, managing over $9 billion across offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. As FIIG grew, its legacy financial systems became a constraint—poor scalability, limited department‑level reporting and role‑based access, heavy manual processing and no end‑to‑end integration—so the firm needed a cost‑effective, user‑friendly platform that met operational and regulatory requirements and could scale for future growth.

Avanade implemented Microsoft Dynamics AX (integrated with FIIG’s existing Dynamics CRM) using its RapidResults reference models and cloud‑based development environment, minimizing customisation and deployment time. The new platform delivers real‑time visibility into capital and transactions, with 100% of daily trading transactions fed automatically, 63% of primary trading account transactions auto‑receipted, faster month‑end closes and reconciliations, and reconciliation staff saving about an hour per day—enabling better decision‑making, fewer errors and greater self‑service reporting.
