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. Drivers such as 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.
