With shrinking technology budgets Capital Markets firms are being challenged to do more with less, yet regulatory and compliance requirements are demanding re-examination of existing front, middle and back-office systems to provide increased visibility and control. In response to these demands, Complex Event Processing (CEP) is fast becoming an essential platform to optimize business operations, such as algorithmic trading, pricing, risk, surveillance, and compliance.

How has the issue of latency evolved in regard to CEP? What new technologies are being employed in order to meet the imperatives of leveraging existing technology investment and delivering rapid time to value?

As electronic trading spreads more and more into new asset classes, in what ways can CEP help a firm to manage its risk?

How does the regulatory factor play into this: Is real-time market surveillance a must in today’s environment?

In what new ways can CEP tools be used to recognize meaningful events and be proactive in flagging possible risk points?

How can the application of CEP enable real-time decisioning, complexity management, and compliance?

Can CEP engines be effective on their own, or do they need to be paired with other systems? If it’s the latter, which systems?

As firms struggle to comply with the weight of new regulation, Business Rules Management System (BRMS) is coming to the fore as a means to tackle increased complexity and to demonstrate compliance in decision making processes. The need to rapidly change business rules, whilst maintaining compliance and correctness, is impacting the industry and areas such as client on-boarding, pre-trade checks, RFQ response management and more.

• What are the main challenges introduced and what new products are being developed as a response to the pressure on profitability?
• How can BRMS facilitate complexity management and business agility?
• Would the confluence of BRMS with Complex Event Processing form a new technology category: Real-Time Decisioning?
