To measure straight-through processing rates, you quantify automated trade processing volumes and identify specific manual intervention points within the securities settlement lifecycle. This establishes a baseline for tracking operational efficiency improvements.

Exception-based processing in trade settlement is an operational design where automated workflows handle matching transactions, escalating only failed or anomalous trades to staff for manual review, thereby maximizing automated throughput.

Designing automation patterns for account opening and reconciliation involves selecting architecture workflows that integrate system endpoints, allowing automated data validation and matching to minimize manual touchpoints in securities operations.

Yes, you can design integration between order management and custodian systems to automate trade settlement data flows. This system integration reduces manual effort by enabling seamless data transfer and validation.

The best way to reduce manual touchpoints in securities operations is implementing STP architecture with exception-based workflows, automating high-volume tasks like trade processing and settlement while maintaining strict accuracy controls.

You should avoid full straight-through processing for trade workflows involving complex, non-standardized instruments or counterparties requiring bespoke validation, where exception-based manual handling ensures operational accuracy and regulatory compliance.
