Your trading firm is at a crossroads. The legacy Order Management System (OMS) that once served as your backbone is now a rigid liability, unable to keep pace with the dynamic, high-speed demands of today’s markets. The alternative, which is dedicating years and millions of dollars to building a new system from the ground up, seems like a prohibitively slow and risky endeavor.
Neither path provides the speed, agility, and control you need to secure a competitive edge.
The old “buy vs. build” dilemma is a false choice. A more strategic, modern solution is emerging: the “buy and build” approach. This model is the future of trading technology, offering the stability of a proven, powerful platform combined with the freedom to innovate and adapt as quickly as the market demands. It’s the ultimate combination of control, speed, and cost-efficiency.
