TimeScape - Why Data Management Exists

Analyse and manage vast amounts of data. Do it faster. Spend less time validating data and more time doing your job. Look at complex data more easily. Switch from one asset class to another with ease. Be faster to market with new trading ideas. Introduce new financial products into your systems in hours rather than days. Achieve more in one day than you have in weeks.

These commercial aims cannot be achieved unless a data management infrastructure is implemented that is designed for constant change. Data management is not a goal in itself, and is only valuable when it allows your organisation to achieve more with less time and effort. TimeScape has been designed for ever-changing market demands, and outlined below are some of the solution areas where Xenomorph’s clients are already achieving more success through using TimeScape data management technology.

This requirement is only going to become more demanding as both trading (algorithmic trading/credit derivatives/structured products) and regulation (MiFID/RegNMS/UCITS III) drive increased data volumes and complexity. TimeScape has been designed to cope with these changes, combining high performance database technology for real-time and historic analysis, a future proof-data model for dealing with the most complex of asset-classes, a powerful data validation framework and the ease of use risk managers require.

Trading Our TimeScape data management technology has been designed from the outset to support the ever-changing needs of the trading desk in pre- and post-trade decision support. It delivers the tools that traders need to analyse their data and do more themselves, whilst at the same time providing a scaleable systems architecture that unburdens IT departments of tactical day-on-day requirements from the trading desk. TimeScape supports high volume analysis of tick data, through to the detailed analysis of historic volatility surfaces, and fully supports the easy integration of your own proprietary statistical and pricing analytics. This range of analytical capability, together with its support for any financial instrument, means that TimeScape is the data platform for cross- and multi-asset trading. Read more

Technology Historically, data management has been seen by the trading desk as something for the back office technologists to talk about. This approach now has to change, since now there are efficiency, regulatory and profit incentives to take a more centralised approach. The addition of the profit motive from the move to multi- and cross-asset trading is one of the biggest recent changes, and this will force trading desks to take much more notice of data management technology as a key competitive issue and an enabler of financial innovation.
