OUR PARTNER:
Our partner, ABN AMRO Clearing, is a global leader in the domain of clearing, offering access to a wide range of listed instruments on markets across the globe.

IT is at the heart of their organization with more than 30 different product teams and 10 different platform teams that are trying to build the best products & services for their customers.

Their presence in important financial centers like Amsterdam, Chicago, Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo Hong Kong, London, Sao Paulo, Frankfurt and Iasi, allows them to effectively serve clients worldwide and maintain close proximity to their diverse customer base.

THE ROLE INVOLVES:
Our partner's clients have a continuous drive for more insights in their data and position. As markets evolve fast, they must be able to give them their latest position in real time and at the same time offer the best user experience possible. This brings us to one of their main core applications – MICS, which is responsible for the functionalities like maintaining Reference Data, Trade Processing, Cash Bookings, Interest, Corporate Actions, Fees, Tax and more.

This application was built in 1994 and was constructed with Synon/2E, a development tool introduced to the market in 1974. Synon/2E is a proprietary tool now owned by Broadcom and once dominated the worldwide market for third-party development tools for the IBM i (formerly AS/400) platform.
