Increased activity and participation by corporations and financial institutions in the derivatives market has created several challenges including:

• Tightening of Profit margins
• Escalation in cost of technology and professional expertise
• Pressure to invest in advanced technologies & infrastructure to support growth

Traders and sales desks continually face changing business trends and are looking for new ways to increase profits and improve efficiencies while maintaining a high level of service for customers across trading cycles.
For this, it is imperative for financial institutions to be equipped with intelligent systems and technology that seamlessly integrate processes surrounding a trade - from deal capture, order management to final settlement.

Many Financial institutions dealing in derivatives and complex structured products lack intelligent systems and resources to track the risks and/or positions.

Subprime Crisis

Subprime crisis, one of the worst financial crisis in decades has impacted all global financial players and added several new challenges to the operation of FIs and Banks.

• Mounting losses has forced many FIs and Banks to reduce the workforce
• Available budgets have reduced substantially
• Regulatory compliance has tightened
• Demands and workload on existing staff has increased

As a result, it has become imperative that institutions employ measures to minimize their costs from the front office to the back office.
