Kepler Cheuvreux Selects Opensee’s Trade Management and Execution Analytics Solution

Paris, 23rd February 2023 – Kepler Cheuvreux, the leading independent European financial services company, is the first financial institution to adopt Opensee’s cloud service for trade management and execution analytics. Kepler Cheuvreux, through its Execution activity KCX, will deploy the solution developed and tailored to its needs by Opensee, the leading platform providing financial institutions with multi-dimensional, real-time access to their data.

The solution enables users to conduct unlimited independent analysis of all their internal and third-party trading data, with tools to identify the drivers of performance and how to achieve optimal trade execution at lower costs. Kepler Cheuvreux intends to offer the service to its clients after an initial phase of internal use.

 

Chris McConville, Global Head of Execution Services & Trading at Kepler Cheuvreux, said: “KCX is constantly on the hunt for technology that delivers a competitive edge. We were among the first to identify the massive potential Opensee’s platform offered in taking trade analytics to the next level. Our clients will gain fast, actionable intelligence without relying on us to intermediate. This solution brings full transparency, adds value to our service and allows us to forge better client relationships.”

 

The technology partnership on trade analytics confirms Opensee’s product roadmap, outlined in December, as the company branches out from implementing its solutions on-premise or on clients’ Private Clouds by offering a full SaaS deployment for a large variety of use cases. The strategy is to give banks, asset managers, hedge funds and brokers access to data at scale with embedded analytics for use cases including market and credit risks, liquidity management, trading analytics, and ESG.

 

Stephane Rio, Founder and CEO of Opensee, said: Our long-standing cooperation with Kepler Cheuvreux is an important step in enabling all financial institutions to manage their trading data stack challenges as their volumes of data grow exponentially. We want to provide high performance tools that allow users to source valuable business intelligence for more informed decision-making, to identify opportunities for a competitive advantage or to respond better to client needs.

 

While many financial institutions are constrained by legacy data architecture, Opensee’s platform gives users the ability to explore 100% of their data at the push of a button, without limiting the size, history or granular detail. For legacy systems this can typically take at least a day and users are obliged to compromise on the dimensions of the data they require.

The Opensee platform’s sophisticated calculators and embedded analytics complement full data access, enabling Front Office, Risk and Finance managers to manipulate the harnessed data for intelligence in a variety of use cases. Tier 1 banks currently use the Opensee platform for analysis and the production chain of regulatory reporting in capital markets, liquidity and capital reporting by finance departments. Asset managers, hedge funds and brokers use it for analysing and enhancing trade execution.

 

Anvar Karimson, Kepler Cheuvreux’s Chief Technology Officer, said: “Through our partnership with Opensee, we have developed a tailored solution that meets the needs of KCX and our clients, delivering granular visibility into trade performance with real-time actionable insights. Opensee and KCX are fully committed to continuously improving the performance of our Execution Analytics solution, ensuring that we meet the high expectations of our clients and providing them with the insights they need in a continuously evolving market landscape.”

Opensee Raises EUR11 Million in Series A to Democratise Real-Time Data Analytics for Financial Institutions

  • Opensee’s platform gives Risk, Finance and Front Office users intuitive access to 100% of their data with advanced analytics embedded to improve decision making and regulatory reporting
  • Opensee to expand in North America and SE Asia; broaden the range of data intensive use cases powered by AI analytics

 

Paris, 15th December, 2022 — Opensee, the leading platform allowing business users at financial institutions to analyse the most granular data in real time, has raised 11 million euros in a Series A funding round led by Omnes Capital, with the participation of Laurion Capital and Societe Generale Ventures.

Today, financial institutions are storing unprecedented volumes of data as new regulations have introduced reporting that has multiplied the underlying data requirements 10-fold or more. Legacy data architecture at most institutions is unable to support real-time analytics or allow business units to realise the full potential from the data they store.  

Opensee addresses the data stack challenge facing financial institutions through a single, scalable platform able to absorb the exponential growth in collected data and make 100% of the data accessible in real time, to the most granular level and with no limit on the size of the data set. 

The platform allows business users to manipulate data for simple or complex calculations with embedded analytics for a wide range of use cases, ranging from risk management and regulatory reporting, to trading decisions and ESG analysis. It removes the need for additional computing tools and significantly reduces operational risk. Low code analytics enable Front Office, Risk and Finance managers to harness data for more informed decision-making, to identify opportunities to gain a competitive advantage or to respond better to client needs. 

Tier 1 banks currently use the Opensee platform for analysis and the production chain of regulatory reporting in capital markets, liquidity and capital reporting by finance departments. Asset managers, hedge funds and brokers use it for analysing and enhancing trade execution. To democratise access to data at scale, Opensee has gone live in offering a public Cloud hosted platform with turnkey solutions, building on the initial deployment of its platform on-premise or on clients’ Private Clouds.   

The Series A funding will support Opensee’s innovative product roadmap, the development of advanced AI analytics to support automated data quality controls and certification as well as multiple turnkey solutions delivered as a fully managed Cloud SaaS. Opensee will also add to its 70+ team of experts in data and financial markets while expanding its international footprint in North America and SE Asia to drive sales and implement a follow the sun support network for its clients.

 

Stephane Rio, Founder and CEO of Opensee, said: “Our goal is to enable more financial institutions to leverage the valuable business and risk intelligence hidden within their data. We are making our platform and solutions more widely available through our new fully managed Cloud SaaS offering. This funding round has brought us a complementary group of international investors which shares our vision and whose support will be invaluable in the next stage in our growth journey.”  

 

François-Xavier Dedde, Director at Omnes Capital’s Venture team, who will be joining Opensee’s Board, said: “With outdated data stacks and increased regulatory pressures, financial institutions have a hard time coping with an ever-increasing mix of cost and complexity. Opensee’s solutions are a clear answer to these challenges.” 

 

Emmanuel Naim from Laurion Capital Management, another new member of Opensee’s Board, said: “Recent market conditions have highlighted how the understanding of any metric is more important than the calculation itself. We’re delighted to be supporting the company in its development and US expansion.” 

 

Didier Lallemand, Managing Director of Societe Generale Ventures, said: “The technology, expertise and client-facing approach that Opensee offers combined with the feedback of our internal stakeholders after the implementation of the cutting-edge solution, give us great confidence to support the company in its growth trajectory.”

What’s new at Opensee?

Opensee’s newsletter!

 

This quarter has seen a strong performance from Opensee as we continue to grow our customer base, the number of use cases, enhance the platform’s functionalities and expand the team to support our clients.

At Opensee, the summer was a time of transition as we successfully relocated to new offices in Paris. Since our people are key, we are very focused providing a fantastic work place where colleagues can thrive and succeed. We chose a larger workspace better suited to delivering excellent work, with space to interact, share ideas and learn, and to appreciate our corporate community as our headcount grows significantly.

We are pleased to have taken part in some major global industry events. I attended the Singapore Fintech Festival earlier this month as part of the BPI French Fintech Delegation. It reinforced Opensee’s presence in the region, following our recent opening of new offices in Singapore. And this week I joined colleagues traveling to Barcelona for the RiskMinds International conference.

I am really looking forward to the next few months, which look very promising for Opensee.
