Development and Implementation of the MOLE Platform

This case study details the development and implementation of the MOLE (Man Order Listening Engine) platform by Digiterre for Man Group PLC, a leading hedge fund. The primary objective of the project was to meet the MiFID II regulatory requirements ahead of the January 2018 deadline while enhancing the firm's competitive advantage through improved data analytics capabilities. The MOLE platform enables real-time data collection, analysis, and reporting across all trading entities within Man Group. It leverages a scalable Kafka messaging system and MongoDB for data capture, along with an HTML 5 front-end for user interaction. The project was recognized with the HFM European Services Awards for its innovative approach to trade and transaction reporting. The successful implementation of MOLE has future-proofed Man Group's operations, allowing for greater scalability and flexibility in meeting both current and future regulatory demands.
