“We needed a new portal solution to improve our control environment, streamline our workflow and automate our manual processes,” explains Lisa Dukes, Deputy Group Treasurer at Drax. “With ICD’s portal technology and its global trade desk and account team, we could achieve straight-through processing with Reval and ensure we are applying industry best practices. In this regard, ICD acts as an extension of our team.”
The integrated portal solution allows Drax to easily research, trade and report on money market funds, providing straight-through processing of data from ICD Portal into the Reval treasury management system. In addition to the solution ensuring accurate and efficient flow of trade data, Drax reports that the yield data for dividend calculation is more accurate in Reval as it is pushed directly from ICD.
