Wayfinder Addresses Customer Challenges
Exchange Notification Overload
Financial firms are facing an operational burden due to exchange notification overload, risking missed updates, service disruptions and unexpected costs. Wayfinder can help firms identify, manage and act on these notifications.
Risk of Missing Exchange Notification Updates
Exchanges routinely change protocols, launch new products and adjust fee structures, with each change triggering a notification that firms must act on. Using Wayfinder for exchange and vendor notification management can help reduce operational risk by creating a single pane of glass view.
Lack of Market Data Workflow Automation
Managing market data notifications without a centralized view can make it difficult to assign, track and document actions. Wayfinder creates a task for each notice so it can be tracked through to resolution and allows firms to configure custom rules with workflows built to flag issues and support their resolution.
Benefits of Wayfinder
Single View for Exchange Change Tracking
Wayfinder uses Waypoint’s Data Notification Manager (DNM) to pull in the unstructured notifications from exchanges that financial institutions are receiving daily. DNM allows you to view exchange notifications in line with other vendor notifications like LSEG and Bloomberg. The market data notification management platform consolidates all these notices into a single pane of glass view of changes across a firm’s market data environment, with access to the original exchange notices and vendor information. This helps to identify relevant exchange changes, determine their impact and help ensure important updates are not missed.
AI Powered Market Data Notification Management
To power the platform, Waypoint has partnered with SEAD Software, whose Co-Wright platform filters unstructured notification data, from newsletters to scrollable web pages and emails, into clear, structured summaries. The data is validated by Waypoint’s team before notifications reach clients, a human element standard that both teams built into the platform.
Prioritize Notifications By Business Relevance
Wayfinder helps firms with managing market data notifications by prioritizing the small percentage of notices that could impact their business. The platform allows users to filter notifications by exchange, type, date and business relevance to quickly identify relevant changes. This helps to save time that would otherwise be spent manually reviewing each notice so they can focus on other priorities.
Market Data Workflow Automation Tracking
Reduce the risk of missing exchange notifications by using Wayfinder to identify and track critical changes from notification to resolution and help firms ensure they are acted on. Financial institutions can streamline change management by assigning tasks and creating workflows and audit trails to help improve accountability. Custom rules can be configured – for example, only network-related changes – leading to automatic identification of notifications.
