The DealHub Archive module is the central component of DealHub and provides both logging and database capabilities. DealHub Archive is a Windows based application and archives incoming feeds into a SQL Server database for long-term storage. The database is designed for long-term compliance use and is capable of storing ten years worth of data in a single silo.
DealHub Archive supports archiving that satisfies SEC, FSA and Sarbanes-Oxley data retention rules. As such, it provides a printer replacement capability, avoiding the need for banks of ticket / conversation printers with associated costs.
The archive database contains all incoming & outgoing call attempts, RFQ, price streams, conversation chats, tickets, audit printer feeds and various annotations from all recorded sources. DealHub Archive can be used as a source for MIS Reporting, Investigations, Platform Usage Analysis and has various pre-written reporting templates available.
As well as logging all of the information from the various feeds as a permanent record, separate feeds (from the same source) are cross referenced to provide a composite view (e.g. Reuters TOF, DTF and Printer feeds).
Features
- Scaleable SQL database designed for easy integration with other systems
- Ability to store a minimum of 10 years’ worth of data on-line with a choice of storage media
- Conversations are automatically linked to ticket data records
- The system will identify gaps in data loss due to system down time aiding investigation and data recovery from other sources
Benefits
- Cuts down significantly the time taken to investigate queries. A typical manual investigation may take several hours per conversation retrieved
- Removal and replacement of printer and hard copy storage to electronic data storage thus saving both space and significant labour
- Electronic data exchange, removing manual relay of conversation text printouts to dealers as they can review and print from their own workstation
- Permits additional reconciliation to investigate missed and erroneous deals
- Storage of conversation text for unrecognised deal types such as precious metals
- When suitably configured, TOF records can be matched against the conversation data already received and can be used as a basis for deal reconciliation
