Ronan Bradley's FinanceTech Directions

I am delighted to be chairing what I believe is ebizq’s first Financial services specific live panel . The emphasis is on the word specific since so many of the topics ebizq focuses on are not only of great interest to financial services but also areas where financial services are in the driving seat: From Complex Event Processing to Open Source SOA you don’t have to dig too deep to discover financial services IT organisations deeply involved. That this is the case is hardly surprising: Financial Services (which is also of course a very broad term) is heavily dependent on IT to do everything from roll-out new products to support ever more complex and real-time interactions with counter-parties, service providers, exchanges and regulators.

Of course in the limited time available in a live panel, we aren’t going to try to boil the ocean. Instead we are going to discuss how SOA investments can be augmented to address the currently particularly hot issue of visibility and control. However, with the launch of ebizq’s financial services industry solutions tab , I hope and expect that this will be the first of many finance specific event on ebizq. On that basis, let us know the areas that are of interest to your organisation and your perspectives on the latest trends in FS IT.
