The Challenge

## Flying blind on $4.2B a day

Meridian Capital's trading desk was processing over $4.2 billion in daily transactions but relying on a patchwork of Excel spreadsheets and a 12-year-old legacy platform that crashed regularly under volume.

Their operations team needed sub-second visibility into positions, exposure, and performance across 14 asset classes simultaneously. The existing system delivered reports with a 4-hour lag — unacceptable for a firm that operates at the speed of markets.

> "What used to take three analysts two days now completes in under four hours — flawlessly. Aurum didn't just solve our problem, it redefined what was possible."

— Thomas Reid, COO, Meridian Capital
