Graz makes Hinc – the smarter data warehouse

More than a blueprint

Early on, Graz recognized that efficient reporting and analytical processes become much more difficult to develop and more expensive to maintain without a well designed data model. That’s why, for nearly a decade, we have invested heavily in developing a comprehensive, general data model for the financial industry.

Hinc was designed specifically to simplify and streamline these industry processes which must integrate data from a wide variety of sources and formats. Our innovative data warehouse has since been put into practice by a number of leading financial institutions.

All data in one place

Hinc provides a complete set of business data in a single source. By collecting and structuring data to fit reporting processes, and by applying a “store-once, use-many-times” principle, Hinc creates value by making reporting and analytical processes more efficient. As a result, it completely eliminates the need for repeated data harmonization.

Hinc’s comprehensive data model covers major sectors of the financial industry, with multiple versions of elements including:

Holdings
Transactions
Portfolios

Products
Currencies
Prices

Securities
Organization
Accounts

Full asset class coverage
Insurance roles

Smart integration reduces costs

The Hinc data warehouse structure uses layered integration rather than point-to-point integration. This means customers don’t have to continually re-integrate every time their reporting requirements or business systems change. Using Hinc, they can re-use existing interfaces, which makes it possible to significantly reduce implementation and testing costs.

Data virtualization

At Graz, we believe that the data model is crucial for creating a data warehouse that will add business value for our clients. Hinc is built around a data virtualization technology that greatly reduces the complexity of the underlying data, which in turn greatly increases the flexibility and scope of the data model. Customers can re-use the extracted business data for multiple reports and analyses, reducing costs significantly.

Support & maintenance

Graz provides enterprise-class support for Hinc that takes a longterm perspective, together with proven collaborative processes for ad hoc support, monitoring, quality control and follow-up. The Graz support team provides proactive control of the system and fixes potential problems before they occur.

We offer efficient and safe upgrades for both test and operational environments using well documented processes and built-in system functionality for deployment – complete with roll-back capability. Customers can deploy new functionality with just a few clicks – without assistance from their IT departments.

Internationally recognized certification for quality

We continuously strive for a higher standard of quality, avoiding operational interruptions and maximizing uptime, without compromising information security. Our work developing and implementing our data warehouse for financial institutions has been certified according to the ISO 27001 standard for information security and according to the ISO 9001 quality standard.
