Altaira Strategic Partners and Watson Wheatley are pleased to announce an ongoing partnership and successful implementation of the iRecs data aggregation & reconciliation solution. The iRecs system will be used to provide integrated reconciliations across positions, trades, balances, cash flows as well as administrator reconciliation and boxed position reporting.
Altaira's team will benefit from streamlined operational processes with clear overview of breaks, automated issue assignment and a tight audit trail. Further integration with Altaira's systems are also planned to increase the speed of break resolution through automated posting of corrections and differences.
