Operations Briefs: UBS Securities Automates Exception Processing with ADP Workflow, and more

UBS Securities Automates Exception Processing with ADP Workflow, BBH Infomediary Expands Messaging and Integration Services With Radianz

UBS Securities Automates Exception Processing with ADP Workflow

UBS Securities LLC has signed a multiyear contract to use ADP's Workflow solution. This will enable UBS Securities to automate the handling and resolution of its Purchase & Sales (P&S) breaks in an effort to mitigate risk exposure and reduce operational costs.

ADP worked with UBS as a beta client to gather its requirements and help define the system's functionality. Prior to implementing this automated approach to handling exceptions processing, UBS had a manually intensive process for handling breaks.

The system automates exception processing through user-defined, parameter-based business and routing rules. Users can create personalized views through a browser-based application with sorting and filtering capabilities. The system has an audit trail that increases accountability, and reports that measure productivity and identify operational efficiency in a firm.

BBH Infomediary Expands Messaging and Integration Services With Radianz

BBH Infomediary LLC plans to use Radianz to expand access its outsourced multiparty financial messaging and integration services provided to investment management companies.

BBH Infomediary's parent -- Brown Brothers Harriman, the banking and investment firm -- has used Radianz to access services and its trading counterparties since 2002.

Clients use Infomediary's BBH-hosted infrastructure to reduce the operating expense and streamline communication processes with their custodian banks, sub-advisers, prime brokers, distributors, transfer agents, accountants and other service providers. The Infomediary platform translates disparate data, incompatible formats and multiple communication methods into standard and/or proprietary formats.

By adding Radianz to its current access options, Infomediary will offer its buy-side clients another way to connect to BBH Infomediary and interact with various service providers. In addition, Infomediary will have an additional means of reaching the many financial institutions that currently connect to Radianz.
