Back-Office Trade Monitoring – Technical Implementation White Paper

While the justification for expensive real-time systems for stock traders is obvious for generating revenue, such systems are a luxury for the back office, where end-of-day analysis is often deemed as acceptable, especially due to the high cost of deploying real-time trade monitoring systems. However, with more risk in this volatile world and more regulations to address, end-of-day, or even periodic intraday analysis leaves too many visibility gaps.

The paper describes a solution that provides an efficient and cost-effective means for delivering real-time and near-real-time trade analysis to the back office. It lets analysts drill down into a set of trades to better understand their firm’s exposure.
