Automated mapping of external assets in agree21
Fincon Reply enables the automated mapping of external assets in agree21 without the need for additional tools. Banks benefit from a clear, up-to-date overview of assets, providing a reliable basis for advisory services, reporting and customer segmentation. This eliminates the need for manual creation and ongoing updates.
The scenario
Disparate data sources make transparent asset overviews difficult
When working with external service providers, assets may be administered outside the bank’s own systems. In practice, this results in limited transparency: holdings are not consistently visible in the core banking system, information must be added manually, and analyses rely on supplementary lists or bespoke workarounds.
The objective is therefore to map external assets in agree21 on a regular and transparent basis—creating a single, consistent data foundation for advisory services, reporting and customer communications, without disrupting ongoing operations.
The challenge
Copying data is easy – integrating it into agree21 in a way that ensures all downstream processes continue to function correctly is the real challenge
Understanding and leveraging the capabilities and limitations of agree21
The challenge is less about the data transfer itself and more about ensuring technically and functionally robust integration into agree21’s data management. A key success factor is the sound conceptual use of appropriate fields and data structures to support a stable, maintainable process.
At the same time, data quality, auditability and regulatory requirements must be assured—with minimal manual effort in day-to-day operations.
The solution
Automated data transfer with clear validation rules
A proven approach is to establish a standardised, automated import process for external assets. This starts with a clearly defined, regular data delivery from the service provider in an agreed format. The data is transferred into the data management system, enriched with technical validation rules, and then used to automatically create or update records in agree21.
As a result, external assets are directly available within the agree21 banking workstation. In addition, key metrics can be generated to support analyses and reusable selections—for example, for reporting or customer-specific communications.

The execution
From target architecture to
stable batch processing
Fincon Reply’s standard project approach is structured into five key implementation steps:
Definition of the target architecture and the assignment of external data to agree21 fields
Definition of validation, duplicate, and update rules
Structure of an automated import and batch process
Technical and functional tests with realistic sample data
Analysis of the impacts on consulting, reporting, and selections

The result
Visibility in agree21BAP for advisory services, reporting and analysis
External assets are made available in agree21 regularly and automatically—without parallel Excel spreadsheets or manual maintenance. Relationship managers gain a transparent view of customer portfolios and analyses, which can be leveraged for sales activities within the agree21 ecosystem.
Operational effort is reduced to a minimum: monthly data provision takes only a few minutes, while creation and updates are fully automated.
The outcome is a future-proof solution that increases transparency, streamlines processes and sustainably improves the data foundation for advisory and management information.
