The Data Backbone

Northern Trust Matrix Data Platform

Northern Trust’s Matrix™ Data Platform provides a modern, digital foundation for our global technology architecture.

Your Data is a Strategic Asset

Matrix Data Platform combines technology, teams and processes to enhance the timeliness and accessibility of data across our solutions, helping you convert data into insights.

Better Data for Better Decisions

Omni-channel delivery

Using the cloud, data is consistent and accessible via any channel we support: from overnight file feeds to our flagship Passport® portal to real-time data sharing.

Flexibility and accessibility

Leverage unfettered access to all your data, including the ability to normalize and harmonize data sets from upstream applications to optimize your decisions.

Enhanced governance

Established data mesh principles enhance data governance and provide insight into data lineage and data quality, so you can trust your data.

Data warehousing and data products

The capabilities to aggregate and deliver data “products” for downstream consumption, or become your data warehouse, hosting and managing data on your behalf.

A Common, Cloud-native Data Framework for Your Business

The Matrix Data Platform provides the foundation for flexible, available, and accurate data across our operating model: from decision support to month-end financials.

A Catalyst for Evolution and Innovation

Matrix Data Platform liberates data from processing applications and hosts it securely in the cloud, which helps convert your data from a critical need to a strategic asset with the potential to drive innovation across your business model.

Expand your inputs

As the universe of available data grows, you can more easily ingest and integrate new data sources, to build new and enhanced data models that keep pace with the evolution of your strategy and decision-making process.

Complete the picture

Cloud-native tools allow data from disparate applications to be consolidated and normalized so you can generate new views – or the complete picture – of your investments, exposures, performance, and more.

Accelerate adoption

Open architecture and a tightly integrated, loosely coupled application allow for efficient adoption and integration of emerging tech, minimizing the gap between a promising technology and value gained from it.

Create your optimal model

With flexible component capabilities, a growing ecosystem of 3rd party providers, and a flexible, cloud-native data backbone to bring it all together, you can create your optimal front-to-back solution.

Bring it all together

With a significant percentage of your data managed by your asset servicing provider, you can bring in data from other sources and establish a custom, single-tenant data warehouse in the cloud for your entire enterprise.

Optimize and digitize

With advanced capabilities that can be customized to reflect your process, our ecosystem includes promising new fintechs that can help you optimize your investment process to deliver enhanced outcomes.
