Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
Initial which is part of the package is carried out by our Technical team and the System is handed over as tested and working. Support and training are provided during this phase so all users are conversant with the offering.
It is deployed by the Client within their ecosystem i.e. within their operational and security control boundary. This establishes the integrated ecosystem including all connections, transactions and
orchestrations, previously achieved through tedious, expensive software development. Clients can expose Open APIs to the environment behind which a multitude of Internal and external 3rd Party systems can be integrated. Alternatively, Clients have the ability to create Bespoke APIs to uniquely match the existing APIs of specific Initiating Systems. In this model the need for any changes to those upstream system APIs is eliminated and time to market is accelerated
Service documentation

End-of-contract data extraction
The data is live and resides always within the client repositories or databases.
When the contract is finished the service closes and the data remains where ever it has been allocated
Stopping the service for automated / time based transfers (live data) requires the client has instigated an new approach
End-of-contract process
The price is for the product and integration which is based on endpoints that have been designated during the course of the contract or engagement
When the contract is completed and successor arrangements made if required the 'engine' disappears from the dashboard of the Client appointed Analyst. All data remains where it is and under the client custody

Accessibility testing
This is a proven product developed via the Fin Tech Business world for fast, efficient and secure data transfer with a very low latency and completely within the client organisation.
The system has undergone testing and is employed by High Speed High volume commercial financial organisations
The no code allows the User Analyst to make changes needed by business
API
Yes
What users can and can't do using the API
GLU is used to build APIs that any system can consume. It then handles the downstream protocol transformation and associated orchestration logic to route any transactions received by the APIs to the required downstream systems. So in a sense because GLU can be configured to expose any required API those questions would more apply to the downstream system/s being integrated by GLU.
API documentation
Yes

HTML
API sandbox or test environment
Yes
Customisation available
Yes
Description of customisation
This is a no code, secure user configurable application for routine and individual data transfers and enterprise integration
New workflows are requested by the client to their own Analyst who can then configure on the interface the workflow needed
There is no development or external API's required to be developed

Data importing and exporting

Data export approach
In TOGAF 9.1+, Information Systems Architecture covers both the Application Architecture and the Information Architecture, so these are two deliverables:

Application and Integration Architecture describes the applications / components, and their responsibilities, needed to support the Business Architecture and the principles governing their boundaries. Work done by Dalberg would be used as an input for this deliverable.
Information Architecture models the key Information classes the business is interested in, the relationships between the classes, describes the life cycle of typical class instances and the applications responsible for those life cycle changes.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
24x7 Support under contracted SLA
Approach to resilience
Approach to resilience
-> Flexible Deployment options enable High Availability deployment of integration components behind Load Balancers or Proxies
-> Components can be deployed in micro-service like 'fabric' to mitigate system wide outage
-> Regularly Performance Tested
-> Integration Components are managed by Clients own DevOps teams and thus will fit into any existing HA/DR architecture
Outage reporting
-> Service Desk based
-> Clients Host and operate their own Integration Components so internal reporting processes will apply with escalations to GLU Support Desk
-> Regular Monthly / Quarterly Account Reviews held with Outage Reports and Root Cause Analysis plus prevention actions taken

Identity and authentication

User authentication needed
Yes
User authentication
  • 2-factor authentication
  • Public key authentication (including by TLS client certificate)

Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
The GLU policy is based upon ISO 27002 and is structured to include the 11 main security category areas within the standard.
Access to information and information systems will be driven by business requirements.
Access will be granted or arrangements made for employees, partners, suppliers according to their role, only to a level that will allow them to carry out their duties.
Access is therefore limited to very few persons (The Analysts) with secure Dual Authentication

Environment Policy
Move towards carbon neutral behaviour patterns and to actively promote a more environmentally friendly organisation. will only use environmentally sound resources and discourage wasteful or any action which directly harms the environment and take into account environmental issues in its overall performance.

Energy: our goal is to reduce our energy consumption for two reasons, 1) the direct impact that it has on the business, 2) overall cost to the business. Spinwell Global will ensure that all lighting and computer hardware will be switched off outside of normal working hours. Any computer hardware that we use is highly efficient , screen savers are in place should computers be left unattended for a period of time.

Waste: We aim to minimise waste material wherever possible. Ultimately we envisage and encourage paperless office working environment, and as such we discourage any unnecessary printing. Any paper waste that is produced is recycled using the local collection service. We also encourage staff to buy unpackaged products where possible.

Transport: We aim to have all employees travelling to and from work by use of either public transport, pedestrian access, or by bicycle. Where staff are required to attend client meetings, public transport is strongly encouraged where possible. Where public transport is not available, staff will be permitted to use the most environmentally friendly vehicle transport available.

Goods & Services: Spinwell Global aims to work with our supply chain and clients to ensure our environmental policies are aligned as closely as possible.

All Spinwell Global staff will take direct responsibility to uphold the Environmental Policy set out to ensure a more sustainable place of work. To consult regularly with The Carbon Trust (UK) to ensure we are doing everything we can to minimise our impact on the environmental, both locally and as a global organisation.
