The Global Derivatives marketplace continues to evolve at the speed of light both in terms of technological innovation and regulation. International financial centers are embracing electronic markets, automation, cross-border, and cross-asset trading. Within this framework the investor and trader is undergoing seismic changes which present challenges for their organizations. To succeed within these advanced technological, regulatory, and market environments, firms, exchanges and desks all share common underlying objectives: incorporating efficient technology, streamlining costs, managing risk, all while increasing volumes and revenue. Managing this array of challenges on a large portfolio of trades and positions in the global market environment strain the financial frameworks of many firms, especially the organizations which rely on the connectivity to disparate platforms to integrate seamlessly during volatile market environments.
