Project Summary

STX Next built the front end of an internal data and analytics portal for a systematic hedge fund to help investment managers analyze portfolios and strategies. The web application consolidated multiple legacy systems, increasing efficiency by reducing the number of platforms the client had to manage. Internal usage has grown steadily and the vendor's UX work improved discoverability and user satisfaction.

Key Challenges

  • Provide an analytics portal for investment managers to view portfolios and strategies in one place
  • Enable drill-down analysis, inline plots and query-driven visualizations to identify trends
  • Consolidate and replace legacy systems to reduce platform fragmentation

Project Deliverables

  • Front-end web application
  • Rich data tables and inline charts
  • Interactive data visualizations and query-driven graphs
  • UX/UI design

Project Solution

STX Next built the front end of the analytics portal from scratch, supplying two full-time developers, one tester and a UX/UI designer. The front end displays data in rich, tabular formats and supports inline plots and interactive charts; users can run multiple data queries and plot results to detect patterns. The engagement used agile processes, close remote collaboration with the client's backend team, and standard project tools (Atlassian JIRA, video conferencing).

Project Outcome

  • Internal usage grew steadily
  • Replaced older systems and consolidated platforms
  • Migrated existing users onto the new application
  • Improved UX led to increased discoverability and user satisfaction
  • Close collaboration and agile practices enabled regular deliveries
