Customer ChallengesNew levels of competition have changed the global capital market landscape. Whether an incumbent or a new entrant, exchanges are driven to increase performance, decrease costs, and launch new products and services.

Competition

In the competitive markets of the US and Europe, latency is the new battleground. Such latency is an engine for growth attracting algorithmic trading and allowing exchanges to promote co-location services.

Multiple Asset Classes

Exchanges need to be able to offer a range of different asset types from a single integrated platform.

Comprehensive Solution

Exchanges need a comprehensive solution to meet their present and future business needs. These would include a full range of index calculation methods and management of corporate events.
