Securities traders today face two major challenges: the markets in which they operate have become highly complex and ultra-fast, while at the same time the fiduciary duty of best execution is viewed more seriously than ever. Wayne Wagner will explain how data visualization applications help traders achieve best execution by informing them of developing situations quickly enough to prevent sub-standard executions.
Advanced visualization software platforms can be a solution to the “needle in the haystack” problem that buy-side and sell-side organizations face every day. Visual Business Intelligence companies like Panopticon have strived to eliminate implementation headaches as well as to enhance the speed and user-friendliness of the software. They have also begun to focus on SDK and enterprise solutions rather than stand-alone products, resulting in applications that address interconnected business problems. These solutions are easily deployed and administered within an organization. Most importantly, they allow business users to monitor, analyze and act on their essential business data.
Given the power and broad applicability of Visual Business Intelligence software, Wayne expects that it will become as common as spreadsheets in the near future.
