Capital Markets & Exchanges

Capital markets are in an upheaval - latest information technology improvements have lead to several innovation surges and have spurred lasting changes to the established market structures. These changes become especially visible for stock exchanges, where trading mechanisms, structures and the underlying organisations have changed massively over the last years.

In addition, volumes and margins are shrinking, new business models are being tested (influenced by the Central Counterparty "CCP" introduced by Deutsche Börse AG in 2003) and the amount of regulatory requirements is constantly increasing. Including "Basel 2" and changes on a national level like the German "4. Finanzmarktförderungsgesetz" and "Wertpapier-Dienstleistungsrichtlinie", these regulations induce some massive work on IT systems.
