In today’s rapidly evolving financial landscape, regulatory reporting is no longer a static compliance exercise—it is a dynamic, data-driven discipline that underpins transparency, risk management, and market confidence. As financial institutions and market infrastructure providers expand across borders, the need for agile, future-proof regulatory reporting platforms has never been greater. The digital transformation journey of European DataWarehouse (EDW), enabled by Publicis Sapient, offers a compelling blueprint for regulatory modernization that is both globally adaptable and resilient.
EDW’s evolution from a pan-European data repository to a multi-jurisdictional regulatory reporting powerhouse is a testament to the power of cloud-native, modular technology. Originally established to bring transparency to the European asset-backed securities (ABS) market, EDW faced a pivotal challenge with the introduction of new EU Securitisation Regulation (SECR) and, later, the UK’s post-Brexit regulatory divergence. The need to comply with both the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) frameworks required a platform that could support distinct, evolving requirements without sacrificing efficiency or user experience.
Publicis Sapient’s partnership with EDW was instrumental in this transformation. By architecting a scalable, cloud-first platform on Microsoft Azure, Publicis Sapient enabled EDW to process, validate, and store billions of loan-level data records in real time, while maintaining the highest standards of data quality and security. The platform’s modular design allowed for rapid adaptation to new regulatory regimes, with up to 80% of the core architecture reusable across jurisdictions. This not only accelerated EDW’s entry into the UK market but also ensured operational consistency and cost efficiency.
