Schroders has selected the Xceptor data automation platform for a range of core business use cases including cash flow data handling and customer onboarding. The investment management firm initially used Xceptor to process incoming transfer agency cashflows into its investment book of record, Blackrock Aladdin. The firm’s expanded use of the platform across operations provides operational resilience and efficiencies through data automation and end-to-end process transformation for business users.

Peter Hilborne, chief operating officer, operations at Schroders, comments: “The initial phases we entrusted to Xceptor comprised critical business functions that the platform handled exceptionally well. By consolidating all other applications into Xceptor, we have radically transformed how we process and automate data.”
