Many capital markets firms acknowledge that data is the foundation and life blood of both buy-side and sell-side businesses. But the lack of past investment in data architecture has placed firms under intense pressure to deliver against a backdrop of increasing client, regulatory, and business requirements. Greater demands from end clients for efficiency and cost savings have put pressure on all firms to do more with fewer human resources, and many regulations are compelling firms to retain and be able to access and interrogate data in real time. It’s more important than ever before for firms to be able to aggregate data and report on demand, and it’s vital for leadership in capital markets to realize the current constraints as well as the benefits of investment in data management and architecture.  

Join Aite Group senior analyst Paul Sinthunont and InterSystems director of product and industry marketing Joe Lichtenberg for a live one-hour webinar as they discuss the recent findings from two commissioned research papers on the major trends in data management for capital markets firms.

Key discussion points will include:

• The business landscape impacting data management needs for both buy-side and sell-side firms
• Major challenges in data management and architecture, with a focus on data silos
• The decision to buy versus build
• Drivers to invest and desired project outcomes across business units
• Examination of current data architectures along with recent and future planned investments
