Specialised engineering —
structured by practice area.
Six defined capability areas — all directly tied to the systems and processes that trading, risk and regulatory operations depend on. No generalist IT, no broad-scope promises.
Trading Platforms
Full implementation and operations support for leading ETRM platforms — from product modelling through extensions, upgrades and production-ready stabilisation.
- — Openlink Endur: trade workflows, product modelling, AVS/JVS development, upgrade management
- — Triple A: portfolio structures, valuation logic, analytics and market data integration
- — Front-to-back processes from trade capture through settlement and accounting interfaces
- — Operational stabilisation, incident analysis, batch monitoring and runbook handover
- — Release readiness: impact analysis, regression test strategy and cutover support
Regulatory & Controls
Regulatory requirements as an engineering and operations task — not a legal advisory topic. Reporting processes, control frameworks and reconciliation logic that hold up in production.
Regulatory & Controls in detail →- — EMIR: reporting obligations, data quality, reconciliation and regulatory alignment
- — REMIT: market abuse reporting, reporting infrastructure and data delivery
- — Internal control frameworks: four-eyes logic, escalation processes and audit trails
- — End-to-end reconciliation across trading, risk and accounting systems
- — Reporting interfaces: technical connectivity to trade repositories and regulatory data flows
Integration & Data
Interface engineering from design through operational handover — API-first, with error handling, monitoring and full documentation. No integrations that break on first production run.
Cloud & Integration in detail →- — REST/SOAP APIs, messaging systems (Kafka, MQ, AMQP) and event-driven architectures
- — ETL/ELT pipelines with error management, retry logic and end-to-end monitoring
- — Batch/file pipelines for settlement, risk data, market data and reporting
- — Legacy connectivity: adapter patterns, anti-corruption layers, incremental modernisation
- — Data quality, mapping, transformation and reconciliation logic for ETRM environments
Cloud & AWS Modernisation
Hybrid integration, target architecture and CI/CD for ETRM environments. AWS connectivity, landing zones, security baselines and cloud connectors — pragmatic, without rip-and-replace dogmatism.
Cloud & Integration →Triple A, Valuation & Market Data
Portfolio structures, valuation logic, curve setup and analytics. Market data integration, data quality and pricing processes for trading and risk functions.
Platform expertise →OpenComponents Migration & Technical Change
Impact analysis, migration planning, regression test setups and structured handover for version-critical changes. Change delivery as a controlled process, not a risk event.
Platform expertise →When we are typically engaged
Kiacon is brought in when a concrete trigger requires specialist depth — not as a general capacity replacement.
Upgrade & Release
Version changes, impact analysis, regression test setup and cutover preparation.
Unstable operations
Batch failures, EOD issues, performance degradation and root causes that cannot be traced.
Regulatory deadline
EMIR, REMIT or internal control processes that need to be embedded in the system.
New products or markets
Product modelling, new trade types and system changes for new trading strategies.
Integration gaps
Interfaces that break, are missing or do not hold up under load in production.
Modernisation need
Legacy components, cloud migration and target architecture for ETRM landscapes.
