“We struggle with in-house development resources, with even fewer understanding the differing types of post-trade feeds across trading systems that our primary dealer business needed. Our main aim was to be up and running quickly so time-to-market was important but with any business scaling up, controlling operational connectivity and integration costs was also a factor – Connect for stp allowed us to do just that and we couldn’t be happier!”

EMIR, MiFID, and Dodd Frank: What have we learned and what comes next?

EMIR, MiFID and Dodd Frank struck fear into the heart of financial institutions in the years following the financial crisis. Whilst many in the industry recognised the need for reform, they were also wary of the practicalities and challenges of implementing regulatory change projects. The rules were as new to technology providers as they were to financial institutions, so with a shortage of specialist regulatory reporting vendors many firms set about creating their own in house solutions.
