CAARS is a suite of software products to meet a range of business needs within financial services, all with the same fundamental challenge: complex business data. We specialise in understanding the data of financial services organisations, and then in leveraging this knowledge to deliver multiple business solutions from a single common data source. CAARS solutions currently include:

   

CABS Test Harness

Delivering the supporting information required for the Financial Statement e.g. Stage movement summaries.

 

We combine both the technical and business expertise to analyse your data and develop the required ‘ETL’ processes (Extract, Transform and Load) to create the CAARS data source effectively and efficiently. Naturally, CAARS can also work with existing data (extracts) wherever appropriate. CAARS can either be deployed locally on your own IT network, or delivered as a fully secure hosted solution. CAARS is already proven in high volume businesses with several hundred thousand contracts and many millions of transactions. References are available on request.
