LexiFi Platform

Rapid Development of Financial Applications

The LexiFi Platform is a complete set of tools for the rapid development of financial applications. The LexiFi Platform provides a foundation for delivering innovative products and services while controlling costs and risks.

The LexiFi Platform is used by LexiFi, financial institutions, and partners to develop stand-alone or integrated solutions designed to automate key business processes such as product development, product sales, product processing, customer service, reporting, controlling, and risk management.
Automate Key Business Processes
Develop stand-alone or integrated applications based on a conformed product definition standard to automate key business processes.

8 Reasons to Use the LexiFi Platform

Accurate Representation of Financial Contracts
Accurately describe sophisticated financial products, based on any type and combination of underlying asset, using the Modeling Language for Finance (MLFi), a precise formalism that exhaustively describes financial contracts with a limited set of core constructs.
Single Product Definition, Multiple Uses
Create versatile product definitions that remain strictly decoupled from the programs that manipulate them: MLFi describes what contracts "are" independently from what they "do," and the resulting specification is used to derive pricing, analytical, operational management, and other contract processing capabilities, with the guarantee that the behavior across these environments is consistent.
Open Pricing Architecture
Leverage in-house pricing resources. The LexiFi Platform clearly separates the various pricing-related services and data elements in order to support a multitude of integration scenarios with existing valuation algorithms and calculation platforms.
Formal Operational Model for the Systematic Detection and Processing of Life Cycle Events
Automate the life cycle management of structured products: systematically detect and process events in a portfolio of complex products, keep a full history of events, and perform the required simplifications as a contract progresses in its life cycle.
Contract Simplifications

MLFi contracts simplify progressively as life cycle events are processed and eventually reduce to a "zero" contract that carries no right and no obligation.

Simple and Readable IT Model
Shield applications from the diversity or complexity of financial products with the LexiFi Platform's radically simplified contract representation. Transactions and their life cycle history are represented in a single document that applications may manipulate through a clear, well-documented API available in C# and MLFi. In addition, the LexiFi Platform's schema-independent approach to database integration minimizes the number of tables used to represent financial contracts.
Rapid Development of Microsoft .NET Applications
Automatically generate significant portions of Microsoft .NET applications. For example, financial engineers and software developers can derive graphical trade entry screens on the fly from the parameters that define a financial product. At the same time, the new product is linked with a set of suitable valuation routines. Database integration and event processing capabilities follow mechanically. This feature greatly simplifies the new product process and accelerates the development of valued-added trading applications.
