One of the oldest and largest broking firms in the Indian Security Industry.
The current process of Portfolio Analytics, by gathering data and performing tasks like calculation and Analysis of different schemes available with each division, is carried out manually. Comparative analysis among different benchmarks was done manually in separate excel sheets. This process was very slow and consumed more effort and there was no in-depth analysis done.
Other limitations of the process were ?

It was required that complete data from research team should be imported in Excel format in some hidden columns that required special emphasis while coding.
Since GUI is developed in .Net while business logic is in Java and XML is used for communication between tiers, the exception and error handling became more important and required to be given appropriate treatment.
