A Journey of Innovation

When Lavastorm Analytics Engine first emerged in the telecommunications sector, few could have predicted its evolutionary journey. Developed by Lavastorm Analytics (originally founded as JLM Technologies in 1993), the platform was conceived to tackle the telecommunications industry’s growing struggles with enormous data volumes and intricate reconciliation challenges.

While the platform’s origins were firmly rooted in telecom, Calimere Point saw something others missed – its transformative potential for the financial services sector.

Pioneering Cross-Industry Application

“The telecommunications sector had been wrestling with massive data volumes and complex reconciliation challenges years before financial services faced similar issues at scale,” reflects Peter Griffiths, Founder and CEO of Calimere Point.

“We recognised that the Lavastorm Analytics Engine’s proven capabilities in telecom could be powerfully applied to help our financial services clients who were increasingly drowning in complex data environments.”

This insight proved prescient. In 2011, Calimere Point became the first team to successfully transplant Lavastorm Analytics technology from its telecommunications roots into the financial services ecosystem. What began as a visionary cross-industry application has since blossomed into hundreds of successful implementations across the financial sector.

A Legacy of Adaptability Through Transformation

Calimere Point’s expertise has remained constant through several significant transitions in the platform’s evolution:

The Lavastorm Era (1993-2018)
During this formative period, we established ourselves as implementation leaders, building deep technical proficiency while deploying solutions for both telecommunications and financial services clients.

The Infogix Chapter (2018-2021)
When Lavastorm was acquired by Infogix in March 2018 and rebranded as Data3Sixty Analyze, we seamlessly adapted to the enhanced platform. This acquisition integrated Lavastorm’s advanced analytics capabilities with Infogix’s data governance and quality solutions, creating a more comprehensive data management ecosystem.

The Precisely Era (2021-Present)
In May 2021, Precisely acquired Infogix, further expanding the platform’s capabilities as part of Precisely’s Data Integrity Suite. Throughout this transition, Calimere Point maintained its position as an implementation leader while embracing the expanded possibilities of the Precisely ecosystem.

Addressing Core Financial Services Challenges

Our implementations span the full spectrum of financial services data challenges:

  • Regulatory reporting and compliance – Transforming complex regulatory requirements into manageable, automated processes
  • Data quality management and remediation – Identifying, resolving, and preventing data quality issues at their source
  • Complex reconciliation processes – Automating and streamlining reconciliations across disparate systems
  • Operational efficiency – Reducing manual effort through intelligent process automation
  • Risk data aggregation and assessment – Creating comprehensive risk views across previously siloed data environments

The Competitive Edge of Institutional Knowledge

In a marketplace with competing platforms like Alteryx and Dataiku, Calimere Point offers an unmatched depth of expertise:

  • Over 20 years of institutional knowledge working with the Lavastorm/Data360 technology stack
  • Implementation methodologies refined through hundreds of successful client engagements
  • Strategic partnership with Precisely that enables us to influence product development roadmaps

Looking Forward: The Next Chapter

As a Precisely Platinum Partner, we’re not merely implementing today’s solutions – we’re actively shaping tomorrow’s data landscape. Our collaboration with Precisely extends beyond traditional implementation services to explore synergies across their comprehensive product portfolio.

“The financial services industry continues to face unprecedented data challenges – from intensifying regulatory pressure to ambitious digital transformation initiatives to thoughtful AI implementation,” notes Griffiths.

“Our long history with Data360 Analyze and its predecessors gives us a unique perspective on how to address these challenges with both agility and precision.”

As data environments grow increasingly complex, Calimere Point’s unique combination of deep technical expertise and nuanced industry knowledge positions us as the partner of choice for financial institutions seeking to transform their data operations with confidence.
