Fragmentation, new liquidity protocols, and shifting venue structures are reshaping execution workflows- and forcing desks to rethink how platforms and processes are built. With OMS and EMS systems at the heart of trading architecture, firms are seeking ways to streamline connectivity, reduce silos, and embed greater consistency across asset classes. This panel brings together buy-side and platform perspectives to explore how architecture can adapt to deliver efficiency and resilience, while balancing the drive for modernisation with the realities of legacy systems. Expect candid discussion on the push for simplification, the role of automation and direct connectivity, and how business requirements on the desk are defining the next generation of multi-asset trading.
