While “Managed Services” has come to take on many meanings, at its most basic level, it is the practice of outsourcing day-to-day management responsibilities – but it should also be contemplated as a strategic method for improving operations.

Market events are a reality. With the right timing, they can mean unique, profitable trading positions. With the wrong timing, they can mean missed opportunities.
However, it’s more than just timing and accurate data that give traders the ability to harvest those events. Often, these opportunities come down to strategic decisions, smart teamwork, and flexible collaboration.

Regulation.
The little word, that’s done a lot to the capital markets industry. It’s also a word that has changed the nature of how financial markets participants communicate, report and trade. The trade lifecycle now involves more participants – not only because of the need for more transparency – but firms, both on the buy and sell sides need to continue to differentiate their services to remain competitive.

Although this was my first attendance at a TradeTech event, TradeTech Europe felt surprisingly familiar. I wasn’t sure whether it was the comfortable, spacious hall layout or perhaps the presence of the usual trading technology providers.

That’s why instant collaboration across the trade lifecycle is ever more important, and it’s the reason financial firms are implementing solutions to facilitate that collaboration.

Move over Disney, Universal Studios and Sea World, a new theme park – Enterprise Connect – appeared in Orlando this past week. It only stayed open for 4 days but was host to the largest companies in the communications industry and thousands of visitors. Enticed by the theme “Communications Transforming Business,” participants excitedly descended on a variety of sessions and dozens of vendor exhibits. Being a bit of a ride junkie and having already done those other parks, I could not wait to explore these choices. With so much to experience and with sessions running simultaneously, it was not possible to personally do it all. With that in mind I want to share some of my favorites with you. Continue reading …

It’s that time of the year again – when badge scanners, tchotchkes, industry leaders and new ideas fill a massive room with vendors and capital market firms alike. Yes, I’m talking about tradeshows.
With the highly anticipated event, TradeTech Europe, just around the corner, I thought why not recap one of their sister events that I recently attended in New York? The “Institutional Equity Trading and Technology” Conference was two days of knowledge sharing and thought leadership. The small setting helped create an intimate space, making it more manageable to exclusively speak to other attendees. All of the booths were confined to a single area, making it convenient to visit the exhibitors in an efficient manner. Best of all, the food was quite good too.
