Strategic Risk Associates (SRA) is a consulting firm that developed Watchtower, an industry-leading financial risk management tool that financial institutions use to evaluate their health and anticipate future issues. The Watchtower dashboard gives boards of directors a clear view of their organizations’ risk metrics, with straightforward green, yellow, or red indicators for each Key Risk Indicator (KRI). 

When SRA came to UDig, they were negotiating a strategic partnership with one of the three largest core banking platforms. This relationship would provide access to previously unavailable financial data, as well as the thousands of banks already using the platform. With this new information, SRA had the opportunity to quickly scale their business — if they could accurately and efficiently integrate the data. 

While the partnership created powerful growth potential for SRA, they were concerned about data lineage and data overload. SRA wanted to ensure that users would trust the data they received, so making its path clear and auditable was critical. The application also needed to be prepared to handle the increased data stream without technical errors or massive manual inputs.  

Ultimately, SRA wanted a team who could help them accurately and efficiently integrate the data into their existing system. They wanted to seize this opportunity to quickly scale their business and anticipate any potential challenges on the horizon.
