A Wall Street & Technology Editorial Perspectives TechWebCast: It's All About Speed (To Market)
It's All About Speed (To Market)
7 December 2007
When you are
already trading close to the speed of light, how faster can you really get? Wall
Street is now at the point where the biggest gains in speed will not be found
on
cutting edge trading desks. Instead, with competitive advantage already measured
in milliseconds in the equities markets, financial firms are speeding up other
parts of the business to match the fast pace of the markets - especially when
it
comes to stress testing new systems and doing risk and performance analysis on
new financial models. As with many new ideas, the first quality product to
market sometimes becomes the market (think iPods). Firms need to develop better
processes and systems that can quickly roll out new products and drastically
reduce the time it takes to get new ideas in front of customers. Because, as we
know, many times the first product to market often holds marketshare even after
competitors copy ideas and roll out new offerings.
In this Wall
Street & Technology Editorial Perspectives Webcast, hear how leading
Wall Street firms are improving software-testing processes to roll out
higher-quality products faster and with less risk to the business.
