This walks you through building straight-through processing for securities operations, from measuring your current STP rate to designing exception-based workflows that replace review-all processes. It covers the architectural layers you need (data standardization, validation rules, integration patterns), helps you choose between RPA and API-based automation for legacy systems, and explains how to set up exception queues with auto-resolution. The benchmark numbers are useful: equity trade processing hits 90-98% STP at mature firms while complex account opening might only reach 20-40%. Best when you're trying to eliminate manual touchpoints in trade processing, settlement, reconciliation, or account opening and need to think through controls and audit trails for automated environments.
