What our client says

Schematiq from MDXT has enabled us to reduce the operational risk of running significant trading, risk, and finance processes on a number of Microsoft Excel-based EUC applications.

Leading Energy Trading Firm

The Issue

  • The client’s trading desks were constrained by limited historical data, as Excel sheets had reached their capacity.

  • Manual and slow processes often led to reliance on outdated data, reducing efficiency and accuracy.

  • These challenges resulted in missed trading opportunities, inadequate safeguards, and weakened stress testing capabilities.

What we provided

  • A solution to modernize Excel-based EUCs, enhancing performance and availability. The Schematiq Workbook Manager converts established logic into code-based APIs, allowing Excel to integrate with strategic systems or no-code applications. This enables scalable, controlled access for large user groups while reducing spreadsheet dependency. The platform also provides an operational framework for access management, version control, source control, auditability, testing, and approvals.

  • It includes powerful features to mitigate against errors such as; Schematiq functions to simplify complex repeated formulas and substitute VBA and built-in connectivity for instant live access to data sources.

  • Integration to Excel with strategic systems, to create custom workflows, automate processes, and scale in a controlled way to high numbers of users. This is all possible while ensuring that the business logic and underlying data are accurate, removing the risk of error-prone manual processes.
