A dedicated extension of your team — designed to reduce operational burden, streamline workflows, and help you scale without adding headcount.
Managed Services for Investment Operations
STP’s Managed Services offering delivers a purpose-built operational engine for investment firms. By taking ownership of post-trade processing, reconciliation, data oversight, and exception resolution, our team helps clients eliminate manual work, reduce risk, and operate with confidence.
Unlike traditional outsourcing models, STP combines experienced U.S.-based professionals with real-time visibility through our technology platform. Clients maintain full transparency and control while offloading execution and oversight responsibilities to a trusted operational partner.
Data Extraction & Migration
STP’s Data Extraction & Migration service is a core component of our managed services offering, designed to simplify the transition of complex client data into our unified operating environment. Whether you are onboarding new technology, consolidating systems, or modernizing legacy infrastructure, our structured, end-to-end approach ensures your data is accurate, complete, and production-ready from day one.
We partner closely with your team to define scope, identify data sources, and validate formats and volumes upfront—laying the groundwork for a smooth, low-risk extraction process. From there, our specialists perform detailed workflow analysis and data mapping to ensure consistency between source systems and target schemas. Secure integrations—via APIs or file-based connections—automate data movement while maintaining strict controls.
Throughout the process, we reconcile extracted data against legacy reports, validate success criteria together with your team, and conduct comprehensive end-to-end and integration testing. The result: confidence that your data is fully validated, downstream reports are accurate, and your organization is ready for go-live—without last-minute surprises.
The outcome: faster time to value, reduced migration risk, and a seamless transition that allows your teams to stay focused on day-to-day operations instead of data clean-up.
