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.
