Welcome to WSI

About us

Web Services Integration offers investment banks, fund administrators, asset managers and hedge funds a range of innovative and robust software solutions designed specifically to meet complex middle and back office requirements.

This is combined with an unrivalled technical capability, particularly in the use of web services. The focus of our business is to apply that expertise to our solutions; solutions which are innovative, robust, easy to use and intuitive, but most importantly, solutions which target real business problems.

What we do

We enable our customers to turn manually intensive activities into highly automated processes, thereby reducing costs and operational risk. We put control back in the hands of the user and provide intuitive support to operational/back-office staff as and when required.

Above all, we provide our customers with measurable benefits and a low cost of ownership, as illustrated in a recent deployment for HSBC.

The customers we serve

We operate across multiple related business sectors including securities services and custody, investment banks, fund administrators, asset managers, hedge funds, and data vendors.

In the financial sector for example, we provide solutions to some of the biggest global organisations including HSBC, JPMorgan, Citibank, Standard Bank, Bank of New York Mellon and SIX Telekurs.

Our partners

WSI in conjunction with its partner Thunderhead have developed an end-to-end OTC trade confirmations solution that provides full process automation for the documentation and matching process across any asset class/product type, supporting both straight-through and complex transactions. The WSI Xceptor product provides workflow, management of counterparty reference data, management and matching of all outbound and inbound confirmations and document storage/retrieval. Thunderhead provides the sophisticated template facilities required to achieve high levels of STP processing alongside a fully integrated document editor control required for management and control of any non-STP document processing.

The joint solution has already been successfully deployed at Standard Bank to manage all of their trading documentation including OTC Derivatives. For a full case study on the Standard Bank implementation please click here. Thunderhead and WSI are actively engaged on a number of joint initiatives in both the Capital Markets and Energy Trading sectors to deliver high levels of STP within a tightly regulated and compliant framework.

How we can impact your business

All of our propositions remove the need for re-keying of data and can co-exist with or completely replace paper based processes. As part of any Xceptor® based project, we target a substantial increase in straight through processing, with the subsequent reduction in operational risk.

Our propositions are also focused on responding flexibly to rapidly changing circumstances, putting back-office staff in control of the business rules that dictate the flow of data through their departments. We have applied this with significant measurable business benefit, to the solution areas in which we operate.
