METACO is proud to be a member of a number of organisations transforming the financial services industry through the regulated and responsible development of distributed ledger technology.
We understand the complexity of a large enterprise or financial enterprise: we transform complexity such as multiple entities and systems into a competitive advantage.
Our heritage may be in executing projects for large banks, but our platform, pricing and deployment model is perfectly equipped for start-ups and scale-ups as well: our deployment can be SaaS if you wish so, our price is tied to the value we deliver and our MVP approach offers a fast, de-risked route to market.
Digital assets give banks and institutions the chance to start afresh and to rebuild the future of their businesses without the legacy. Our goal, through our orchestration platform is to eliminate the risks of institutions repeating the same mistakes around technology decisions that will cultivate the same expensive legacy IT estate that exists today.
Our foundational platform enables both IT and Business end-users to overcome the limitations, risks and trade-offs they previously experienced when they had too choose between either building IT solutions in-house or buying off-the-shelf software.
We de-risk innovation by absorbing the intensive R&D investment required to build foundational platforms and distributing this risk and cost across our multiple customers. Our roadmap is aligned to our customer’s needs, allowing them to instead focus on building differentiating value propositions.
