Corporate actions at a global custodian is where good data goes to die. Voluntary offers, mandatory reorganizations, dividend elections each one touching dozens of systems, counterparties, and deadlines that don't forgive mistakes. For years, we've duct-taped these workflows together with file drops, manual reconciliation, and a whole lot of hope.
Then MCP walked in.
This session shares what happened when we brought the MCP into the corporate actions lifecycle at a major custodian. Not theory real implementation. You'll see where MCP connected what was previously stitched together by spreadsheets, where it exposed fragility we'd been ignoring, and where it genuinely stopped things from breaking.
We'll cover the integration patterns that worked across legacy custody platforms, the design decisions that mattered in a regulated environment, and the moments where MCP surprised us both good and bad.
If you're an enterprise architect, technologist, or ops leader wondering whether MCP belongs, this talk gives you an practitioner-level answer. Just what we learned walking a new protocol into one of the oldest, most complex corners of capital markets and what stopped breaking when we did.
