We offer a wide range of consulting services to help you tackle specific issues.
System Selection (RFI/RFP)
Choosing the right trading system for your specific needs can be complex. When your
trading requirements involve multiple locations, multiple exchanges and
different business units, you need to make difficult choices on which system
to implement.
We can guide you through the Request For Information and Request For Proposal (RFI/RFP)
stage, and our experience helps you pick the right system for your needs. We have
extensive experience with many industry leading trading systems.
If you are looking to build a custom solution in-house, we can also introduce you
to many open-source messaging, pricing and connectivity technologies that can allow
for open customisation, reduce your software costs and get your product to market
as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Project Management
We can help you shorten your time to market, by managing all or part of the project
roll-out for you. Our experience with installations of all the common trading platforms
allows us to quickly identify actions on the critical path and work with you, your
suppliers and internal and external parties to ensure that your trading system is
live in the shortest time possible.
System Installation
We can help you through the deployment of your new trading system with support during
purchasing, installation, exchange conformance testing, end-to-end and User Acceptance
Testing (UAT). Understanding and fulfilling exchange requirements, particularly
in Asia, is a complex and time consuming process, with multiple steps and buy-in
needed from all parts of the organization.
System Integration
We can work with you to integrate new systems with other business functions (back,
middle office) and legacy systems. We have experience with multiple APIs and messaging
protocols including FIX, message queues (e.g. JMS, MSMQ), Tibco Rendezvous, and
proprietary protocols like Orc Protocol.
Custom Development
To bridge the gap between what your traders need, and what vendors can supply, we
can add new functionality to existing systems, using our business knowledge, and
the foundation provided by your current systems. We provide the source code to any
developments that we do, so that you can continue to maintain and build on them
without incurring additional support costs.
Support
Even after you go live, we can continue to support your system and components allowing
you to get the most of your systems as your business evolves.
