Workflow tools
Internal tools that simplify processes, reduce re-keying and replace unmanaged spreadsheets or manual hand-offs. We design the application around the people and processes it supports.
Capmark Digital Build Studio
We design and build targeted applications, workflow tools, data products, AI-enabled solutions and quantitative capabilities for financial institutions and energy businesses, from early prototypes through to production.
Overview
Software designed around real business problems.
Not every requirement calls for another enterprise platform. A focused application, data product or integration layer can be the right way to develop a capability around systems the business already uses.
The Build Studio combines product design, software engineering, data and AI with knowledge of financial institutions and energy markets.
Clients can engage us to explore an idea, prove a concept, build an MVP or engineer a defined solution through to production.
Product design, architecture, security, data, testing and operational ownership are considered together from the outset.
Use cases
Where the Build Studio helps.
We build around a specific business need, whether the first step is to test an idea or develop a solution ready for operational use.
- Digitise a business process with a focused workflow application.
- Test a product idea with users before committing to wider investment.
- Integrate an AI use case into a controlled business workflow.
- Replace a business-critical spreadsheet or manual workaround with a supported application.
- Extend a platform with a targeted tool, API, workflow layer or reporting application.
- Develop a data product or quantitative capability around an existing technology estate.
- Take a defined requirement through product design, engineering, testing and production release.
Build types
What we build.
AI-enabled workflows
Applications that combine models with workflow, user experience, enterprise data, access controls, evaluation and human oversight. The solution is designed around the business use case, not the model alone.
Data products and reporting apps
Applications and services that bring together data, analytics and decision-making in a usable business interface, including management reporting, control reporting and data-quality tools.
Internal applications
Targeted software for business teams, designed around operational requirements and the existing technology estate. Security, access, auditability and support are considered from the outset.
APIs and integration services
APIs, data feeds, workflow layers and platform extensions that connect systems and provide controlled access to approved information.
Quant & model development
Models, analytics and applications supporting pricing, trading, execution, surveillance and risk, developed with the workflow, data and controls they require. Deeper quantitative work connects with Quant Development & Trading Models.
MVPs and production solutions
Working software to test value and user needs, or a defined solution engineered through to production. We agree the scope, operating requirements and support arrangements appropriate to the product.
How it works
A focused build path.
- 01
Frame
Define the problem, users, workflow, constraints and value case.
- 02
Prototype
Build a clickable or working prototype that users can test quickly.
- 03
Prove
Test the workflow, data, controls, usability and benefit with the people who will use it.
- 04
Build
Develop the MVP or production release with engineering standards, security, testing and release controls.
- 05
Transition
Hand over the product, backlog, controls, documentation and support model to the team that will run it.
Production engineering
Built with operational use in mind.
Working software needs a clear place within the business and its technology estate.
We consider security, data protection, access, auditability, testing, model governance, resilience and support alongside functionality and user needs.
Where a prototype proves the case, Capmark can continue into production engineering and implementation.
Typical outputs
What the engagement delivers.
Prototype
A clickable or working version of the proposed tool or workflow.
MVP
A minimum viable product with enough functionality, controls and usability to test value in a real environment.
Product backlog
Epics, features, user stories, acceptance criteria and a sequenced delivery backlog.
Architecture and integration view
A clear view of data, APIs, systems, environments, security and integration dependencies.
Test and release plan
The plan for testing, release control, go-live and support.
Production path
A practical route from prototype to live operation, including ownership, controls and BAU handover.
