What does it do?

External Connectivity

Much of director’s immediate benefit comes from its pre-built connectivity functionality. Director provides the option to easily connect to one of more of the following:

  • DTCC DerivServ; Swapswire
  • TriOptima; Traiana; MarkIt
  • SWIFTNet (via Alliance Gateway) for FpML, SWIFT FIN, and ISO 20022 XML Messages
  • FIX Protocol
Connections to external third parties (custodians, brokers counterparties, administrators) can be added with changes to rules only. director is built using the standard messaging protocol for the OTC Derivatives industry, FpML. This allows the introduction of new asset classes, product types, and third party connections without code.

Internal Message Routing

director works across all asset classes to provide consistent rules based routing of trade information. It uses the patented validator functionality to determine which trades are compliant with a variety of central services and external parties. director allows definition of routing rules by asset class product or sub-product type according to the economic details of the trade. It also provides for overrides at counterparty level.

All the routing of trade information both at inception and the subsequent handling of lifecycle events is rules based. Hence it can be rapidly adapted to changing market conventions and new business areas.
