Financial Services
The demands from this segment drive the expectations underpinning the entire scope of LineBeyond's technology services and solutions. Revenue in financial services is powered by the awareness of market events and the ability to derive insight from these events quickly. This industry has pioneered the transition from "process-driven" to "event-driven," and as such, has been an early adopter of advanced information technologies. The front office, where deals are done, is the focal point of this change.
As a result of recent economic turmoil, the demand for greater liquidity, reduced spreads, better control over executions and improved visibility of positions across all asset classes has dramatically increased. These trends are driving the development of a whole new generation of technologies that can manage huge volumes of messaging traffic and derive precise meaning from events for which there is only a split-second of context wherein the meaning lies. These technologies include hardware accelerated messaging appliances, content routing network switches, and complex event processing engines.
Our mission in LineBeyond is to build financial solutions based on these technologies that will enable our customers to realize immediate market advantages. Our Concourse solution brings hardware-accelerated messaging and content routing, state-of-the-art Complex Event Processing (CEP) technology, and complete trading capabilities to the investor desktop. It provides ultra-high performance, highly available smart order routing, complete order management, as well as integration to low latency real-time market data from a variety of domestic and international feeds. Investors have the ability to trade equities, derivatives, mutual funds, futures, options, bonds, and warrants in various domestic and international markets, using leading edge trading techniques.
