Development of an ecosystem of digital applications for IMI CIB on Intesa Sanpaolo’s Jarvis/Darwin platforms, designed to maximize tax efficiency and data integrity on an international scale. At the heart of the offering is the New QDD Technology Layer, which automates the entire U.S. derivatives cycle (IRS 871m)—from booking in Murex to tax calculation—to ensure exemption from withholding taxes on implied dividends. At the same time, the suite Digital Inside and the corresponding Digital Reporting They centralize and automate the governance of data from subsidiaries, introducing built-in data quality controls and intelligent alerting systems. The ecosystem is rounded out by the development of infrastructure for the Digital Asset, by enabling advanced custody, trading, and tokenization services on the blockchain, thereby integrating traditional banking operations with the new frontiers of the digital market. QDD: an IMI CIB project aimed at obtaining Qualified Derivatives Dealer status to optimize tax treatment for U.S. derivatives (IRS 871m) through a new technology layer. The infrastructure manages the entire operational cycle: from data booking (Murex, Tbricks, SL) to communication with S&P, through to tax calculation logic and workflow activation. The ultimate goal is to ensure exemption from withholding taxes on implied dividends and maximize the economic benefits of equity trading.

Digital Inside: a project aimed at digitizing and automating the collection, verification, and management of data from subsidiaries by strengthening transmission channels and introducing automated data quality checks and file normalization. The initiative involves the creation of a centralized repository for the standardized storage of data related to various areas (Securities, Liquidity, etc.) and the development of a front-end interface for managing data uploads and mappings.

Digital Assets: This involves the development of platforms for managing and conducting operations related to digital assets in the banking sector, including custody, trading, and tokenization, as well as enabling new financial services based on blockchain technologies.

Digital Reporting: a microservice designed to manage, store, and display files and reports (PDF, XLSX) with alerting capabilities for relevant users, based on checks of the status and upload dates of individual files within the system

Approach and methodology

Within the proprietary DARWIN framework, we developed a microservices architecture with strict integration requirements with the core systems (Murex, Tbricks). We took an evolutionary approach to individual projects: developing new business logic, as well as performing fixes and maintenance in parallel across multiple modules of the Jarvis platform.
