Genesis Global Enhances Financial App Development Platform with End-User Reporting Controls

Subscribe to our newsletter

Genesis Global has announced a significant update to its AI-native application development platform for financial markets, giving end-users direct control over the creation, modification and distribution of reports based on application data. The enhancement marks a shift from traditional development practices, where changes to reporting functions would typically require developer intervention and code adjustments.

The new Reporting Component allows business users to independently configure, design, schedule and distribute reports without involving IT teams. Users can select and filter application data, define how information is presented, customise the report style with branding and graphics, choose from multiple file formats, and determine distribution channels such as email or document libraries. Reports can also be scheduled for automatic generation and distribution, with a full archive available for historical reference.

By placing these capabilities in the hands of business users, Genesis aims to improve client responsiveness, enable more agile, data-driven decision-making, and reduce the burden on technical teams. However, as financial firms adopt more modular software approaches, some in the industry have expressed concerns about the potential risks of microservices proliferation, such as increased complexity and future technical debt.

Tej Sidhu, Chief Technology Officer at Genesis Global, acknowledges these concerns but explains to TradingTech Insight how the Genesis platform addresses them.

“This caution is understandable in a setting with ungoverned microservices proliferation,” he says. “The standardisation offered by Genesis helps firms reduce the complexity of their software estate while benefiting from a dynamic and resilient microservices architecture. We deliver this by providing a standards-based technical framework with a consistent set of core microservices inherited by all applications built with Genesis. All client-specific services share foundational governance features including authentication, authorisation, routing, integration as well as REST and MCP protocol implementation. Clients focus on their specific business logic, without concern of un-managed service proliferation. We see clients move from monolithic architecture to Genesis and gain multiple advantages, including accelerating their release cycles dramatically. This is facilitated by the architecture in Genesis.”

Beyond concerns about architecture, introducing dynamic reporting capabilities directly to end-users also raises questions about how firms can maintain compliance and control, especially within heavily regulated environments.

Sidhu emphasises that compliance remains integral to Genesis’s design philosophy.
“The dynamic end-user capabilities for reporting are engineered into the Reporting component itself,” he explains. “In the Genesis platform, different components handle compliance requirements, like authentication, authorisation and encryption with the entitlements associated directly with the data itself. This means that we can drive innovation in Reporting or other application functions without affecting governance and compliance attributes delivered at runtime by the Genesis platform.”

The Reporting Component forms part of a broader suite of document and workflow management tools available through Genesis, which includes Document Management, Document Generation and Notifications & Alerts. Built on a component-based architecture, the platform allows financial institutions to easily integrate and update functionalities, with improvements automatically rolled out to clients’ platform libraries.

This latest update reflects Genesis Global’s ongoing strategy to empower domain experts with greater autonomy in software development while maintaining the robustness and compliance standards expected in financial services.
