Commentary
Post-credit crisis, focus on improving efficiency and risk management in trading operations is more important than ever. There is also pressure to adapt to radical changes in the marketplace, such as Europe’s market fragmentation and the coming changes in Asia. Trading organizations facing these challenges need to be agile in their response, and adoption of managed services is, for many, an effective aid in achieving this goal. Outsourcing complex technical and operational tasks, in particular, allows a trading firm to place harder focus where it should be: on core business activities.
