The Epiphron DRTx® eXternal Integration Framework allows for plug and play extensibility across a number of critical functional dimensions.
EXPLORE FEATURES
Epiphron DRTx® connects with third-party platforms (both data providers and consumers) through programmatic interfaces called "integration agents."
Although interfaces differ slightly by provider (e.g., Bloomberg, FactSet) and consumer (e.g., OMS, accounting, compliance), the core concept remains consistent. New data sources can be onboarded by uploading a properly built .NET DLL, configuring connection parameters, and linking the DLL within Epiphron DRTx®.
While integration agent DLLs are more complex than the remainder of features described here, they are manageable for developers with roughly five years of experience.
Through custom fields, Epiphron DRTx® offers many methods for mapping data provider fields to consumer fields.
When native mapping tools are insufficient, users can employ custom functions.
These client-defined functions are exposed to Epiphron DRTx®'s expression builder through a custom .NET DLL, which Epiphron DRTx® consumes and executes at runtime.
Epiphron DRTx® allows linking of manually created or system-sourced security identifier types to custom validations (e.g., CUSIP, SEDOL, ISIN, OCC, FIGI).
These types typically include specific characters, fixed lengths, and a check digit. For additional custom validations, clients can develop a .NET DLL, which Epiphron DRTx® consumes and exposes as a validator for use in various business scenarios.
Epiphron DRTx® supports multiple methods for generating and submitting security lists to data providers, including SQL queries, CSV/text files, hard-coded lists, and API-based options. For more complex, non-standard logic, Epiphron DRTx® can consume custom .NET DLLs that expose one or more security lists. The underlying logic remains hidden from Epiphron DRTx®; the DLL is loaded dynamically, allowing users to select the desired list for a request. At runtime, Epiphron DRTx® materializes the list and submits it for processing.
Epiphron DRTx® is a state-of-the-art ETL (extract, transform, and load) software platform, purpose-built to meet the market reference data needs of buy-side investment systems. Designed with extensibility, scalability, and configurability in mind, Epiphron DRTx® provides small to medium-sized asset managers with advanced data capabilities comparable to those of much larger systems.
