Self-service gave everyone a blank canvas.
The queue at the data team's door disappeared. Multiple versions of the truth took its place.
→ The decision layerAI platform for financial services
Every question answered before the meeting starts.
Your dashboards tell you what happened. Cerium tells you why it happened, what it means, and what to do next — grounded in your own model, not in general knowledge.
The current platforms help streamline data and reporting but do they tell the full story?
The BI tools in market provide governed metrics, live data and self-service. Yet, the same four problems wait on the other side of a successful implementation.
Real-time data. Week-old answers.
The query got faster. The investigation behind it did not.
→ The decision layerOne trusted number. Five explanations.
Governance standardised the measurement and left the reasoning to whoever had time.
→ The decision layerAnd underneath it all, the data.
A missing price does not throw an error. It just makes the answer wrong.
→ The data layerThree ways to buy Cerium.
Cerium is a complete platform, not just a plug-in. Replace the whole stack, replace the layer underneath it, or replace the layer on top of it — the decision is driven by what suits your business rather than what suits our software.
MODE 01 · THE WHOLE PLATFORM
Replace what you are running.
SaaS or fully on-premise, at a materially lower total cost of ownership. Your existing configuration migrates rather than being rebuilt, so implementation runs in weeks and nothing you have learned is wiped.
→ How migration worksMODE 02 · THE DATA LAYER
Keep your BI. Replace what feeds it.
Cerium reconciles your sources, structured or unstructured into one governed model and serves it straight into Power BI, Tableau or Looker. Nothing changes on screen. Everything changes underneath it.
→ The data layerMODE 03 · THE DECISION LAYER
Keep your data access. Replace the front end.
Your warehouse and pipelines stay exactly as they are. Cerium replaces the ageing visualisation layer with decision aids: ranked drivers, forecasts, recommended actions.
→ The decision layerWhat it actually does.
Six capabilities, each one a feature that makes us more than a BI tool.
Answers grounded in your firm
Cerium reasons over your governed model, your fee schedules, your mandate limits and your benchmarks — and cites the rows it used.
A governed explanation
Decompose a movement into what caused it, computed the same way every time, with the working shown.
See what is coming
Rolling forecasts with confidence intervals, scenario comparison, anomaly detection and classification — applied to your own data, not a generic model.
Reports and alerts, without a second tool
Findings become reports, automated alerts and scheduled briefings — canned and self-service. No parallel reporting stack, no separate tool for each format.
Write results back into operations
Read-and-write API access means findings do not stay in a dashboard. Cerium writes back to your ERP, CRM or WMS — the operational systems where someone acts on the number, not just the warehouse it came from.
A dashboard from a conversation
Describe what you want to see — portfolio attribution by manager, settlement variance by merchant — and Vibe Studio generates the visualisation from your governed model. No dashboard to build, no layout to maintain.
Built for financial services, not adapted to it.
Cerium is for the places where the cost of a slow answer is measured in basis points.
Asset & portfolio management
Attribution that explains itself, decomposed to the position, before the investment committee meets.
→ See the workflowWealth advisory
Answer the client's question in the meeting. Drift, fee impact and household performance without an analyst in the loop.
Brokerages
Order flow, execution quality and client profitability read together instead of in four systems.
Payment processors
Volume, decline rates and settlement variance explained at the merchant level, with forecasts that hold up.
Governed the way your regulator expects.
Four things a regulated buyer asks about before anything else. All four are the platform, not an add-on.
Role-based access control
Every user sees only the rows they are permitted to see, enforced at the data layer before any query runs.
SAML and SSO
Identity integration with your existing directory. No separate credential set to manage or audit.
Full audit trail
Every query, every result, every user — logged, with lineage back to the source record.
Data residency, your choice
SaaS deployments offer a choice of region. On-premise keeps data inside your own network entirely.
Two decades inside these systems, turned into software.
Most AI platforms in financial services are built by AI companies learning finance. Cerium was built the other way around.
Ceres FTS has spent twenty years implementing order and execution management systems, rebuilding trade surveillance and regulatory reporting, and migrating data estates to the cloud. We know what the data looks like when it arrives, why the reconciliation breaks, and which four questions a portfolio manager asks first.
