Introducing Unify

Here is it .... Unify

A trade management and middle office application for alternative investment firms. There are two things I want to emphasise in this post, firstly a proper solution to cash management, reconciliation, process management and secondly a wholly Python solution.

Unify is a good fit for buy side firms with sell side trading or portfolio management systems, firms keen on developing their own proprietary execution and risk manage solutions.  

There is not much choice out there for Python related trading and portfolio management applications. With Unify we have tried to solve the common requirements in particularly the buy side space like trade life cycle management, reconciliation, cash management, managed accounts, end of day process workflow, file feeds etc. These things we aim to execute very well.

Although 100% Python, integration with other languages and platforms is central to Unify. It is designed to co-operate within an ecosystem of different systems or run standalone if required.

Take a look at the website www.navohpartners.com for more info on Unify. I would be real interested to hear from Python Finance development teams rolling out similar solutions.

It has been a while

Howdy

Wow over a year and a half since my last post. It has been bussy shall we say, both work wise and personally. A lot of my time and those of my colleagues have culminated into something called Unify. and what is Unify.....

 Unify is our continuous effort to build a useful trade management application, it incorporates various iterations of previous efforts and experiences trying to get square pegs to fit into round holes. There are two things about Unify that excite me, the user experience around it challenging a lot of preconceived ideas (legacy baggage) and also the technology it's built upon.

 I will expand on both of these in forthcoming posts keeping you updated on this journey.
