classified builds a 10-year research platform with Version 1

The customer, a tier-1 investment bank classified as 'Classified', faced the challenge of accessing a decade of historical market data for research without impacting its production systems' performance or violating MiFID II compliance rules, all while avoiding additional capital expenditure. Version 1's kdb+ specialists were engaged to develop a solution.

Version 1 designed and implemented a custom kdb+ platform that established real-time data synchronization to a secure, sandboxed research environment. This solution automated MiFID II report generation and provided researchers with self-service access to data, which drove smarter trading strategies and ensured compliance while fully protecting the production environment.
