Algo trading models and new principles-based regulations have sparked an
explosion of new data and data retention, increasing the stress on capital
market firms. However, the volume of data is only part of the challenge; the
cost of managing the data is also increasing, while the pressure to turn it into
actionable information in a timely manner is rising. With such challenges, it is
even more critical for investment firms to have a strong infrastructure that can
not only handle large volumes of data, but is flexible enough to adapt to the
high volatility of today's trading environments and support mission-critical
decisions.
Join former global IT chief operating officer of Barclays Capital, PJ Di
Giammarino, Sybase's lead strategist, Neil McGovern, and SL Corporation's vice
president of Business Development, Ted Wilson, to learn winning strategies for
putting the right "Chief Risk Officer (CRO)" data capabilities in place that
will help you know your data better so you can access the right information
faster and cheaper than your competition.
What you will learn:
- Key ways to effectively mitigate competitive threats with better data models
- How to better manage data silos and significantly improve data quality
- How to establish the "CRO balance point" for more effective management of
data
- Key infrastructure requirements for today's trading environments
