The State Street Alpha Data Platform, an end-to-end data management and warehouse solution for institutional investment and wealth managers, has launched.
The platform uses an open architecture system, enabled by Snowflake, and allows clients to “seamlessly assemble and access investment data spanning internal and third-party services across their investment processes,” according to State Street. It provides access to front office data in near real-time and uses data catalog and visualization capabilities that yield higher quality data while reducing cost and accelerating decision making, the company says.
State Street Alpha leverages the product and engineering capabilities of Charles River Development and State Street, which has also partnered with Microsoft Azure on the new platform, it says.
The interoperable platform will also “serve as the foundation for the next stage of development for Alpha’s new solutions for cash and position management and performance measurement,” State Street says.
