Today’s Challenges • Record increases in volume • Many changes in the industry • Supporting open outcry and electronic trading • Need for more efficient and competitive business practices
Why Standards? • Standards will enable our industry to grow and respond to change while controlling costs.
Maintaining the Status Quo • Costly • Increased support costs for multiple formats • Many additional components needed between systems • Cost to run the business are high and growth opportunities suffer • Lack of Competitive Advantages • Changes in data or functionality require significant time for analysis, design, programming, testing and delivery • Speed and quality of information limited by translation components between disparate systems • Limited technology options
Maintaining the Status Quo • Barriers to Integration • Current messaging technologies are not common across the financial industry • No common technologies used between trading, post trade and client processes • Limited resources and tools • The Future? • Current messaging technologies have reached their functionality limits • Costs are high to build and maintain outdated technologies so new initiatives may fail
The Benefits of Standards • Savings • Reduction of support and new development costs associated with multiple formats • Scalability and reuse increase • More options available in the industry • Competitive Edge • Ability to deliver more timely, accurate data • Shorter development, deployment and integration cycles • Increased ability to adopt advanced technologies and business practices
The Benefits of Standards • Compatibility • Increased opportunity for integration across the financial industry • Better integration with internal and external systems • More technology options and industry knowledge • Opportunities for the Future • STP • New exchanges and products • Increase efficiency and productivity of existing resources
What is it going to take? • Commitment to participate • Build knowledge/ Agree on standard • Provide interfaces that conform to the standard • Phased approach • Initial investment for long term gain
The Value of Standards • Reduction of current costs • Respond to change • Growth while controlling costs
