What brokers want: technology, reliability and interoperability
This white paper, created by WatersTechnology in association with ION Markets, sheds light on the extent to which brokers make use of single, integrated front-office platforms, their technology sourcing/development preferences, their most acute front-office operational and technology challenges, what they value most in a trading technology partner and the specific technologies they would implement in an ideal world.
Key findings include:
- 38% of respondents rely on in-house-developed/proprietary front-office tools to manage their trading and communication functions, while a similar proportion (34%) opt for a blend of third-party and proprietary tools.
- In terms of what respondents most value in a prospective trading technology provider, reputation and its industry track record was the by far the most popular option, selected by 22 out of the 32 respondents (69%).
