Financial Service Offerings
Patni offers its clients strategic service components.
Global Reconciliation Factory (GRF)
Our Global Reconciliation Factory takes all of our client’s reconciliation processes into our hosted service environment. This eliminates the need for expensive recon software and system licenses, maintenance of support links to custodians; besides saving valuable fund accountant time during the day for reconciliation. Our systems and staff handle all the work during the night and a full set of control dashboards and status reports are made available to the client’s staff when work begins the next morning.
The GRF eliminates fixed costs of staff, systems, BCP/DR redundancy, expensive consolidator feeds and provides virtually unlimited growth support for clients without any ramp-up expenses. It also provides real time contraction when needed without downsizing expenses; and supports equity, fixed income and derivative securities.
Financial Control and Reporting
Our Financial Control and Reporting solution addresses current market challenges for fund administrators by maximizing cost takeouts, limiting customer impact through proven transition methodologies and shielding operations against regulatory and compliance infractions.
Patni co-ordinates all activities related to the compilation of the financial statements and delivers the documents to meet the deadlines specified. The solution ensures process transparency via a stringent review mechanism that consists of a comprehensive checklist of more than 250 check points and fund accountant-wise analysis.
Portfolio Accounting and Reporting
Patni can design and implement customized reports for portfolio accounting and attribution, based on the use of off-the-shelf or custom software. We support money managers, institutional investors and hedge funds.
We provide integration and data mining services for customers looking to add new applications to existing databases so that data can be easily extracted and custom reports created.
Legacy System Maintenance/Re-engineering
As systems mature, improving business processes and keeping abreast of advances in technology becomes critical for FS companies. Planning the transition and maintenance of legacy systems needs to be orchestrated carefully to guarantee non-stop operational support to business users, partners and customers.
