Brokerage firms face
ever-shrinking profit
margins from the speed of
data flow, gains in
technology, market
transparency and compliance
overhead. To increase
profits, firms need to
realize increased efficiency
or increased volume of
transactions. Other
profit-increasing
opportunities include
handling new and more exotic
instruments. These changes
require the ongoing tweaking
of existing front-office and
back-office architecture, as
well as the design of new
platforms.
