MFI cast is a back-end solution that will integrate data supplied by multiple and diverse information sources and providers.
MFI cast represents a winning solution because it:
- Gives the bank a greater power of choice, to be able to plan and develop applications that will not be subject to limitations imposed by specific sources, data types or proprietary delivery systems from the data distributor, which reduce inter-operability
- Allows the bank to gather data from different information providers and pass these to channels in the most efficient and cost-effective way
- Guarantees freedom of choice and the ability to easily develop new business tools with very low costs. Because once the know-how is taken on board, it becomes part of the banks core competence.
- Simply integrates internal sources such as technical or fundamental analysis, commentary and advice or other editorial type information.
The product has been designed within a J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) environment, a multi-platform solution adopted to meet the User’s major requirements. In designing MFI cast, the main objective was to achieve easy integration into pre-existing structures and to impact as little as possible on their day-to-day management.
The heart of the system is the central Service Broker, to which the following can be linked:
- Adapters created ad-hoc for integration with any Information Provider.
- Specific Client Applications for each channel.
MFI Adapters are plug-in modules, created using Java interfaces, whose purpose is to integrate the data and services provided by the various Information Providers with the Service Broker.
For each service offered by the Service Broker, the Adapters obtain the required data from the Info Providers, translating the format and indexing as required.
This philosophy of integration by 'adapter' ensures the system’s independence from the information provider’s user applications. This makes it possible to connect or replace the information provider simply by acting at Adapter level.
