Database Integration

Risk Shell can connect directly to proprietary institutional databases, allowing clients to retain their existing data infrastructure while using Risk Shell for investment research, risk analytics, portfolio construction and reporting.

A secure data bridge synchronizes the client database with Risk Shell without requiring the institution to replace its existing database or data-maintenance processes. Proprietary assets, classifications and data fields can then be used alongside standard Risk Shell databases across the platform.

Integration is available for widely used database platforms including Oracle, MySQL, MariaDB, Snowflake, Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Access, with implementation tailored to each institution's database structure and security requirements.

Data Bridge Highlights

Risk Shell data bridge solutions connect existing institutional databases to the platform without requiring clients to replace their current data infrastructure or maintenance processes.

Preserve Existing Databases

Continue maintaining proprietary databases with existing in-house tools while making their data available throughout Risk Shell.

Rapid Implementation

A typical data bridge integration can be completed within approximately 2–3 weeks, depending on database structure, access requirements and security configuration.

Supported Database Platforms

Risk Shell can integrate with widely used database systems including Oracle, MySQL, MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Access.

Secure Data Transfer

Data transmission between institutional databases and Risk Shell can be encrypted and configured according to client-specific security requirements.

Proprietary Data in Risk Shell

Use institution-specific assets, classifications and data fields across Risk Shell analytics, including proprietary asset types not covered by standard vendor databases.

Multi-User Access

Provide controlled access to integrated proprietary data across institutional teams, with Risk Shell serving as a common analytical interface for multi-user environments.

Two Integration Models

Risk Shell supports two approaches to institutional database integration: connecting to an existing in-house database through a data bridge, or hosting the proprietary database within ABC Quant infrastructure.
