Description

ABOUT XCEPTOR:

Data is at the heart of everything we do: Xceptor has been designed around data manipulation in its broadest sense.

We source data from wherever it flows.

We curate, normalise, validate, repair, and enrich that data so it reaches its destination in a reliable and consistent format.

Data coming out of Xceptor is data our clients can trust.

We are recognised as an expert in the Financial Services vertical, which strongly aligns with Business Users in Middle and Back-Office teams.

We enable these users to solve their data challenges by themselves, rather than through a technology-led project.

Our Vision is to be the leading platform for automating data flows.

Our Mission is to empower business users within Financial Institutions to build automated processes that deliver trusted data.

Our Values were created by our people, and speak to both who we are, and who we aspire to be. Ambition is in our DNA, and we embrace any opportunities ahead. Our curiosity and desire to grow drives us to learn from our customers and those around us. Our people are empowered, accountable, and deliver. We pull together, step up and focus on outcomes. The brilliance of our people makes a positive difference.
