New IBM Software Framework Manages Electronic Trading

IBM has unveiled a new technology platform designed to transform the way that financial services firms manage the ever increasing amount of data and transaction volumes generated by capital markets around the world. Financial systems are tremendously data-intensive and rely on speed in trading transactions that can result in huge profits and help exchanges compete and meet client demands. As market volatility continues to increase so does the risk of system failures that can lead to transaction delays, with a direct impact on the global financial system and the businesses and individuals that rely on it.
