Eagle Investment Systems, a BNY Mellon company and leading provider of financial services technology, reports that RPMI Railpen, a UK pension provider, has deployed Eagle’s enterprise data management solution, using Eagle ACCESS(SM), a secure private cloud. 

Eagle says RPMI Railpen engaged it as part of a major project to establish a data platform to support the investment team, improve the quality, availability and delivery of data to the front office and to create security reference master and investment book of record (IBOR).

“We have already started to see the benefits of the implementation,” said Nicky Dymond, director of strategy and change, RPMI Railpen. “We have leveraged the capabilities of the platform to provide enhanced reporting capabilities, add greater analytical breadth and depth to the data and to build an architecture that efficiently provisions front office systems and processes with consistent data. This will allow the business to realise rewards in terms of analytical capability, confidence and accuracy.”
