Monte Titoli: advanced analytics & machine learning on AWS

Storm Reply and Data Reply supported Monte Titoli to define and develop the adoption strategy of Cloud architectures, governance of resources and ML models.

The challenge

Monte Titoli, the Italian central securities depository (CSD), part of the London Stock Exchange Group and leading provider of post-trade services in Europe, was looking for a fast and secure way to extract value from its data, previously managed on-premises with a classic data warehouse (DWH) approach.

The customer’s final goal was to achieve a flexible and scalable Cloud platform that supported the introduction of advanced predictive and prescriptive analytics pipelines, to scale faster by designing and executing data science projects on Amazon Web Services and to speed up Machine Learning adoption across the organization.

The solution

Monte Titoli chose to rely on Amazon Web Services for its Cloud platform and on Reply, AWS Premier Consulting Partner since 2013, to define and develop the adoption strategy of Cloud architectures, governance of resources and Machine Learning models.

The results

Leveraging Amazon Web Services and Storm Reply’s expertise, Monte Titoli was able to design and deliver a performant and compliant Datalake Architecture for their business needs to maximise value for their internal and external customers.

The new ML platform developed by Data Reply on AWS lead to a 50% saving of the time required to design and execute a full ML workflow. Moreover, a custom model monitoring controls ML model performance in production, enabling its retraining only when a data drift occurs and reducing models updating costs up to 75%.
