Continuous integration and deployment, known as CI/CD, is being used in development across Linedata's technology stack to deliver more features and functionality into clients' hands more quickly and easily than traditional software methodologies. In particular, Linedata clients using portfolio model management capabilities are seeing tangible benefits. You can learn how in this blog from Linedata's head of asset management technology.

Why more firms are employing CI/CD practices
Rapid change in our business environment is the norm as companies look for ways to innovate, scale, and optimize efficiently to meet the evolving needs of customers and clients. Fortunately, one solution to these problems can be found in using a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) approach to delivering new functionality faster and more easily. CI/CD alleviates pain points around traditional upgrades by employing smaller scale, frequent software updates which allows you to bridge the gap between development and operation activities, rather than overhauling your technology stack every few years. This is a core strategy at the heart of Linedata's Asset Management Platform (AMP).
CI/CD enables you to:
- Save time and money by allowing business and IT leaders to avoid a full system upgrade
- Meet the evolving requirements and expectations of the business as well as users
- Mitigate the risks of using outdated technology.
The benefits associated with CI/CD demonstrate why it has formed the backbone of modern DevOps practices in recent years - and these benefits have never been timelier. At Linedata, we're always excited to share with clients the portfolio model management enhancements being implemented through the CI/CD pipeline.
Continuous portfolio model management features delight clients
Our first cloud native module, Model Management, which is accessible through Linedata Longview or a web browser, is allowing our users to benefit from a bevy of features in version 1.0 that were developed with generous input from our existing clients. These features include:
- An intuitive Model Builder for constructing models that range from simple to complex structures
- Enhanced Data Vizualisation aides
- The ability to better organize and manage model with tags
- Powerful search and bulk update capabilities
Solving pre-trade and post-trade compliance challenges with Linedata’s portfolio compliance solution.
CI/CD improves client delivery experience
Because the deployment of these updates is automated with CI/CD, our software development teams can:
- Spend more time focusing on client requirements, code quality, and security
- Reduce update time with smaller changes and frequent code checks
- Integrate and validate changes made across different platforms and tools with greater ease
An overwhelmingly positive response from portfolio model management users laid the groundwork for ongoing feature deployments. We continue to collaborate with this group on upcoming enhancements of our core AMP front office capabilities.
The last thing that anyone wants to be concerned about is the often arduous process of a traditional upgrade. Any steps Linedata can take to help avoid roadblocks in your workflow and keep your internal resources free for higher value activities and meaningful innovation are worth taking. That’s why Linedata is passionate about providing that peace of mind to our portfolio model management users through modern CI/CD practices.
