Case Study: ABN AMRO achieves a centralized operational trade store and faster regulatory compliance with MarkLogic

ABN Amro Brings Vast Amounts of Data into a Central Operational Trade Store

ABN AMRO faced the challenge of aggregating enormous volumes of structured and unstructured trade data into a single, consistent record so it could meet fast-changing internal demands and strict regulatory requirements (including trade reconstruction and data lineage) under aggressive deadlines. The bank needed infrastructure agility to support current and future reporting and compliance needs while minimizing operational risk.

ABN AMRO built an operational trade store on MarkLogic’s multi-model database, using features such as security, ACID transactions and bitemporal “time travel” to timestamp and rewind trades. The result is a consolidated single source of truth that accelerated development, reduced risk, enabled rapid regulatory compliance (including MiFID II), and opened new opportunities to analyze trading behavior for future growth.
