Kusiri: integrations and performance for a forensic data platform, later acquired by PwC
Kusiri, a London startup, ran a forensic data search platform used by the financial sector for due diligence, anti-money-laundering and fraud detection. To expand it needed to integrate third-party data providers and external systems without losing performance or compromising security. Stratoflow built the integrations in Java on Kusiri's OSGi core. PwC later acquired the company and folded the technology into its forensic services.

Integrate many providers, keep it fast, keep it secure
Kusiri's platform had to communicate with multiple third-party systems, each with its own API and data structure. As users and data volumes grew, performance became critical. And in a financial-sector product, the integrations had to be secure as well as reliable: a data breach would have been catastrophic for the client and its customers.
Custom Java integrations on the OSGi core, tuned under load
Stratoflow developed custom Java integrations to the specification of each third-party system, integrated them and the external data sources with Kusiri's OSGi-based core platform for flexible module management and testing, and applied performance optimisation so the platform could handle the larger data flows without losing speed.
