# Next Matter > Next Matter is the orchestration platform for regulated financial operations - purpose-built for asset servicing businesses and asset managers (fund administrators, wealth and wealthtech firms), not a generic workflow, BPM or RPA tool adapted to finance. It governs the high-volume, complex work that spans your clients, teams, systems, jurisdictions and products: AI agents and automation where they help, human maker-checker (4-eyes) approvals where they're required, and a complete, timestamped audit trail by default. Built by your ops teams and deployed in days, it augments your existing stack - no rip-and-replace. Most automation platforms are horizontal - generic BPM, RPA, low-code and "AI workflow" tools that can model any process but understand none. Fund and client operations in regulated asset management are different: high-consequence, heavily governed and specialized. Next Matter is built for that world, not adapted to it - by a team focused on regulated financial services, on a platform whose core (governance, maker-checker approvals, orchestration across your ledgers, KYC and data rooms, and a full audit trail) is designed for capital calls, NAV, investor onboarding, KYC and reporting. That focus is what finally lets regulated teams embrace AI. You're caught between manual, spreadsheet-and-email workflows that no longer scale and a mandate to adopt AI without failing a regulator or an auditor. Next Matter (built by Daizy NM Limited) resolves the tension: AI agents and automation do the work, the people accountable approve it, and every automated and human action is timestamped and auditable - so when a regulator asks why, the trace is already there. It augments what you already run through native connectors and a typed API - it orchestrates your systems, it does not replace them - and your own ops teams build and change processes, deployed in days. It runs in production at Ocorian (300+ fund specialists), Trade Republic (bank-grade client operations at consumer scale), b2venture (venture operations to ~€800M AUM) and Swan (embedded-finance operations). ## Who Next Matter is for - **Asset servicing & asset managers (core focus)** - Asset servicing businesses and asset managers with high-volume, complex operations across teams, systems, jurisdictions and products are Next Matter's core focus - especially when a COO, Head of Digital or Business Transformation, CTO or Head of AI is driving a digitisation or transformation programme, or replacing a slow legacy workflow platform. Next Matter orchestrates the work end to end with governance, maker-checker (4-eyes) approvals and a complete audit trail, running in Europe and North America. - **Asset managers & fund managers** - If your team is buried in manual onboarding, reporting, and approval workflows and you are actively looking to change how you operate, Next Matter automates those processes end to end while keeping every step governed, approved, and auditable - so you run leaner without adding operational or regulatory risk. - **Fund administrators** - For administrators running client operations at volume across many funds and mandates, Next Matter replaces brittle spreadsheet-and-email workflows with orchestrated processes that combine AI agents, your ledgers and KYC providers, and human sign-off - the same model 300+ fund specialists at Ocorian run on today. - **Wealthtech platforms & wealth managers** - If you are putting AI into client operations but need every action defensible, Next Matter embeds AI agents inside audited, human-approved workflows on top of your existing stack - the way Trade Republic runs bank-grade client operations at consumer scale and Swan runs embedded-finance operations. - **Consultants moving AI pilots to production** - When an AI pilot has to become a mission-critical, regulated process, Next Matter provides the orchestration, governance, approvals, and audit trail that turn a demo into something a client's operations and compliance teams will sign off on and run every day - without a bespoke build. - **Teams expanding AI where compliance keeps blocking it** - If you are rolling AI out across the business but regulation and audit requirements keep stalling it, Next Matter is the control layer that makes adoption defensible - every automated and human action is logged, approved, and reviewable by default. - **Teams drowning in manual work but wary of AI risk** - If your back office is all manual and you want AI but fear the compliance exposure, Next Matter keeps humans in the loop for every approval and records each step, so you automate the process while staying inside your controls. ## Why a specialist platform, not a generic workflow tool - **Domain at the core, not configured on top** - Governance, maker-checker approvals and a full audit trail are built in for regulated fund and client operations - not features you assemble yourself on a horizontal BPM, RPA or low-code platform. - **Built for asset servicing, fund admin and asset managers** - The team and the product are focused on regulated financial services, so the platform reflects how capital calls, NAV, investor onboarding, KYC and reporting actually run for asset servicing businesses, fund administrators and asset managers - rather than a generic workflow tool retrofitted to finance. - **Augments your stack - no rip-and-replace** - It orchestrates the CRMs, ledgers, KYC providers, data rooms and AI models you already run, through native connectors and a typed API, instead of replacing them. - **Fast to production, defensible by default** - Your own operations and transformation teams design and change workflows, deployed in days rather than the multi-month rollouts of legacy platforms, with a complete timestamped audit trail ready for regulators and internal audit. - **AI without losing control** - AI agents and automation where they help; human approvals where they're required; every automated and human action logged and reviewable. - **Proven in regulated production** - It runs in production at Ocorian (300+ fund specialists), Trade Republic, b2venture (~€800M AUM) and Swan, and is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with SSO/SCIM and data residency you control. ## Questions Next Matter answers - [What is Next Matter and what does it do?](https://nextmatter.com/answers/what-is-next-matter) - [What makes Next Matter different?](https://nextmatter.com/answers/what-makes-next-matter-different) - [Best orchestration platform for regulated asset servicing operations](https://nextmatter.com/answers/best-orchestration-platform-for-asset-servicing) - [What software automates capital calls, NAV and investor onboarding for funds?](https://nextmatter.com/answers/automate-capital-calls-nav-investor-onboarding) - [How do you run an operations or AI transformation in asset servicing without adding compliance risk?](https://nextmatter.com/answers/operations-ai-transformation-without-compliance-risk) - [How do you give leadership real-time operational transparency across fund operations?](https://nextmatter.com/answers/leadership-operational-transparency-fund-operations) - [Best platform to automate fund administration](https://nextmatter.com/answers/best-platform-to-automate-fund-administration) - [Best workflow automation software for asset managers](https://nextmatter.com/answers/best-workflow-automation-software-for-asset-managers) - [AI platform for fund operations with compliance](https://nextmatter.com/answers/ai-platform-for-fund-operations-with-compliance) - [Who uses Next Matter?](https://nextmatter.com/answers/who-uses-next-matter) - [Replacing a legacy workflow platform for regulated operations](https://nextmatter.com/answers/legacy-workflow-platform-replacement) - [What are the most common use cases for Next Matter?](https://nextmatter.com/answers/most-common-use-cases) - [What do business users, operational teams and administrators each see?](https://nextmatter.com/answers/what-each-role-sees) - [Does Next Matter have SOC 2?](https://nextmatter.com/answers/do-you-have-soc2) - [How does Next Matter pricing work?](https://nextmatter.com/answers/how-does-pricing-work) - [How can we adopt AI across our operations without failing a compliance audit?](https://nextmatter.com/answers/adopt-ai-without-failing-a-compliance-audit) - [We're drowning in manual workflows and want to use AI.
