- Enhance reference data APIs to expose static data to Orchestrade distribution services
- Modify FIX adapters to capture additional trade fields and update trade schema data models
- Build transformation adapters that convert internal data models to Orchestrade data models and vice versa
- Develop an Orchestrade distribution service that listens to PostgreSQL trade insertion notifications, publishes messages to Orchestrade, stores published messages for auditing, and filters out non-fill data
- Extend internal system data models to accommodate lifecycle events originating from Orchestrade
- Evolve the PostgreSQL schema and distribution service to handle trade life‑cycle events and trade version management
- Engineer a complete exception management workflow including targeted alerts to Application Support and Operations users
