In the highly dynamic capital markets sector, firms are constantly seeking an extra competitive edge to uncover new revenue opportunities, identify risk, reduce transaction costs, and track increasingly complicated instruments and business scenarios. Coral8-based complex event processing applications allow IT organizations to more effectively use high-speed data sources from both outside and inside a financial institution for: algorithmic trading and execution, real-time pricing and offers, risk and compliance management, and fraud detection.
Developers and IT teams in capital markets face a number of key issues in building new complex event processing applications, including:
- The need to process large volumes of fast moving data and integrate diverse data sources, producing analysis of complex scenarios in realtime,
- The rapid creation of new applications using existing staff and skills,
- Supporting the continuous availability of complex event processing applications in mission critical environments.
Until now, capital markets IT groups have built expensive, in-house developed infrastructure software to deliver demanding realtime applications to the business. With the volume of data increasing, and backlogs of high-speed data applications requests growing, the custom-coded solutions have reached their breaking point.
The Coral8 engine provides an infrastructure software solution that meets the requirements of the most demanding financial services environments and enables developers to build more complex event processing applications faster.
