In a highly regulated banking environment, collateral management and certification are critical processes to guarantee the compliance and reliability of financial operations.

Within this framework, a major corporate and investment bank initiated work to strengthen the traceability of application processes and to industrialize delivery and control mechanisms associated with applications related to collateral calculation and certification.

To secure these processes in a context of strong regulatory requirements, Avaliance supported the structuring of development, industrialization, and technical governance practices for the relevant applications.

In a highly regulated financial markets environment, Initial Margin (IM) management is a key lever for controlling exposure and costs related to derivatives trading activities. In this context, a leading investment bank launched initiatives to analyze and optimize its Initial Margin calculation mechanisms applied to derivatives portfolios, particularly Credit Default Swaps (CDS) and Interest Rate Derivatives (IRD). The objective was to improve margin management, optimize clearing strategies, and provide trading teams with decision-support tools to reduce collateral costs and overall exposure.

In a highly regulated banking environment, trading activities rely on the reliability of market data and the accuracy of financial valuations. In this context, a leading investment bank launched an initiative to automate the Mark-to-Market (MTM) certification process in order to improve control quality and ensure more reliable transaction valuations. The objective of this initiative is to reduce manual processing performed by analysts, optimize anomaly detection in market data, and strengthen the robustness of valuation controls. To support this program, Avaliance contributed to the design and integration of an analysis module aimed at automating discrepancy detection and improving operational efficiency.

In a highly regulated banking environment characterized by large volumes of financial data, a leading investment bank launched the modernization of its risk calculation and Profit & Loss (PnL) monitoring tools. As part of this initiative, an advanced technical platform (Metrics Platform) was developed to meet increasing requirements in terms of performance, reliability, and scalability for trading and risk management activities. To support this strategic initiative, Avaliance contributed to the development of the platform, supervised technical activities, and structured Agile practices within the project team.

In a context of IT transformation and increasing regulatory requirements, a leading investment banking institution launched an initiative to rationalize its reserves framework used by trading activities. The objective is to improve the reliability and transparency of calculation methodologies used for reserves, particularly within Independent Price Verification (IPV) and risk management processes. In this context, Avaliance contributed to the review of quantitative models within the TRO team, in close collaboration with trading, quantitative research, and model validation teams.

As part of its Cloud transformation strategy, the organization launched a Foundations initiative aimed at designing and industrializing cross-functional technical components to structure Cloud environments at group level. These foundations provide a shared framework to standardize development and deployment practices while ensuring compliance with governance, security, and operational requirements. To secure the implementation of these technical components and ensure effective coordination between DevOps teams and business stakeholders, Avaliance was engaged as Proxy Product Owner, supporting the internal Product Owner.

In a context of IT system transformation and an increasing number of IT projects, the client in the services sector launched an initiative to strengthen control over its internal processes and improve project management quality. To support this evolution, a Process Support Officer (PSO) function was established to structure process governance, ensure compliance with internal standards, and drive continuous improvement of practices. The mission takes place in a multi-project environment involving IT teams, PMO, quality, and business stakeholders.

As part of the industrialization of its Cloud services, the client launched a transformation program aimed at standardizing and securing infrastructure deployments across its Cloud environments. This initiative relies on the implementation of an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach at enterprise scale, enabling consistent deployment practices and improved governance. To accelerate this transformation, the client introduced a shared foundation of reusable components, organized as Cloud Shared Libraries (CSL), designed to be integrated into CI/CD pipelines. Avaliance was engaged to lead this cross-functional initiative and drive adoption across Cloud and application teams.

In a context of increasing digitalization and high sensitivity of processed data (health, insurance, pensions, savings), a leading social protection group launched an initiative to strengthen its organizational resilience against operational risks. Operating nationwide with multiple regional entities, the group must ensure robust service continuity for hundreds of thousands of beneficiaries. Faced with growing risks such as cyberattacks and technical outages, Executive Management mandated Avaliance to conduct a comprehensive audit of the Business Continuity Plan (BCP).

In a highly regulated banking environment, a leading European financial institution launched several initiatives to strengthen the security, compliance, and resilience of its system infrastructures. The scope covered a global estate of over 30,000 Windows servers, operating in a 24/7 environment and subject to strict regulatory requirements, including those from the European Central Bank (ECB) and PCI DSS standards. To secure these critical environments and improve operational efficiency, Avaliance provided Level 3 Windows expertise, reinforced automation, and contributed to the industrialization of system administration and cybersecurity practices.
