Genesis Release 8.9 offers new and improved Genesis Marketplace
Version 8.9 of the Genesis Application Platform introduces a new and improved Marketplace, the platform’s library of ready-to-go solutions and modular application technologies.
The Marketplace is a pillar of the Genesis Application Platform, along with the Development Suite and Application Runtime. It offers an array of pre-built technologies engineered to address industry challenges and houses application componentry that helps developers become ten times faster in delivering new applications.
All Genesis solutions are available as pre-packaged, full-stack applications in the Marketplace. These help firms rapidly address a range of trading, risk, client service, compliance and other challenges. Taken together, they also illustrate the capability of Genesis to build virtually any type of financial markets application.
Genesis Solutions include:
- Primary Bond Issuance: a deal-focused application that helps asset managers request bond allocations with unmatched efficiency.
- Trade Allocation Manager: a multi-asset class middle office suite for matching and allocating trades and assigning commissions and other fees.
- Advanced Custodial Services: which enables dealers to offer custody services via a turnkey platform delivering automated trade capture, matching, validation and settlement.
- Wealth Management Suite: a platform for quoting and order management that automates workflow between bankers, traders and clients.
The Marketplace also offers a collection of modular technologies that replace the need to code commonly used functionality from scratch time and time again. Ending repetitive “pipework” and other efforts to build application “table stakes” is fundamental to how Genesis improves developer productivity.
Templates in the Marketplace are structured starting points for new applications. Components provide functionality like reporting, user management and notifications. Integrations are pre-built connectors that allow applications to exchange data and interact with industry platforms, vendor services, regulatory bodies and other systems.
With these resources, developers do not write new code to add connectivity or capabilities like reporting to applications. They simply import the required data integration or functional component (reporting, for example) into the build and configure those as needed. This efficiency speeds delivery by allowing developers to focus on the core business requirements of the application, which, in turn, are accelerated by the platform’s development suite.
The latest release of the Genesis platform also enhances the Document Manager component, streamlines how to set criteria for Data Server queries and improves unit testing.
