CHALLENGE
The institution was managing their trade contract portfolio comprising derivatives, repo and securities lending agreements with generic content management tools, requiring significant time for legal and operational teams to find and view data. They had no clear organisation or mechanism to manage the contract families (originals / amendments) and their agreements were complex, often involving differing terms for direct and agency transactions.
SOLUTION
- To modernise its infrastructure, the client selected the Lyncs platform by Logical Constructs as its enterprise replacement solution. Lyncs was deployed to ingest, digitise, and modernise the institution’s entire legal architecture.The implementation focused on:
- Comprehensive Domain Coverage: The platform digitised all core trade documentation, seamlessly processing complex agreements across derivatives (e.g., ISDA Master Agreements, CSAs), repo markets (e.g., GMRAs), and securities lending (e.g., GMSLAs), alongside other high-volume trade documentation.
- Purpose-Built Architecture: Lyncs provided a structured, high-granularity schema designed specifically for financial contracts, transforming flat PDF or text data into dynamic, searchable, and queryable data fields.
- Rigorous Data Quality Framework: Built-in validation rules and clear data-lineage tracking ensured that ingested agreements met strict institutional data governance standards.
