Standardized deployment across all the firm’s clients, simplifying access to new features without complex integration
Implemented a hub-and-spoke data exchange model to manage large data transfers, leading to significant processing time reductions
Provided a unified view of the data product, ensuring consistency across microservices and clients

Outcomes
