Introduction

Sophisticated clients (e.g. Corporates, Large Family Offices, Hedge Funds etc.) have complex requirements. The standard Canopy offering is often not enough for their purpose and they need a complete Data Eco-System to be able to efficiently operate and serve all their various stakeholders. In addition they need the ability to directly work with their own data and incorporate it in various work flow processes.

Canopy Data Eco-System has the following charactertistics

  • Complete Canopy Toolkit: The entire toolkit of Canopy is included in this package for unlimited flexiblity.
  • Database Access: Customers get full and direct access (read and write) to their database (a segregated database with only that particular customer's data is created for that purpose). Customers can download all the information as required, but also connect other applications (e.g. a BI tool like Tableau) to the database directly.
  • Data Integrity: Canopy data upload and cleaning processes maintain the data integrity at the point of upload and on an on-going basis.
  • Security: The database is secure, encrypted at rest and only accessible from authorized computers in the client's office
