Problem:

A tier 2 bank had been running a fixed income pricing service for some time using legacy technology that was becoming hard to support.  Esparter was asked to simply upgrade it to use new technology to reduce a considerable support burden.

Solution:

Functional requirements were to keep it exactly the same but by using new frameworks and libraries, additional capabilities came for free. This included real-time alerting of price movements which proved to be a popular workflow start point.

In the first release, users amended their fixed income portfolios, suggesting that real-time alerting of total values would save users a lot of time and strengthen the product line significantly.
