Danmarks National bank is using the Calypso system front-to-back across assets as the portfolio management system. The continuous improvement of the system is handled internally in Nationalbanken. As part of the continuous improvement of the Calypso system, configuration in the Calypso system is performed for front-to-back functionality.
Nationalbanken is looking for three suppliers of Calypso Business Analysts (Calypso BA) with senior configuration skills within the Calypso system and excellent business knowledge on the front-to-back area. Award of contracts based on the framework agreement will be based on a re-opening of the competition.
— Participation in development projects extending the business use of the Calypso system in Nationalbanken.
— Configuration of business solutions on front-, middle or back office area (including accounting area).
The Calypso BA should have at least 2 years of experience in an IT implementation project within front, middle or back office in a financial organization.
The Calypso BA should be able to analyse and provide efficient and professional solutions for complex business related problems. This requires the ability to work independently as well as finding solutions in close collaboration with internal business experts of Nationalbanken. The Calypso BA should be able to configure the business requirements in Calypso. If a solution cannot be configured, the Calypso BA should be highly experienced in producing detailed requirements for a custom solution to a Calypso Technical Analyst (Calypso TA).
All solutions should be tested thoroughly by the Calypso BA, i.e. writing and executing test cases using a standard test tool. Furthermore, it is required that all solutions are well documented in writing and explained to relevant business people.
