Buy Side Data Innovation Day

2:10 PM Cloud Strategy Panel: Future-proofing your desk in the cloud: How can buy side firms benefit from cloud-based data infrastructure and management to reduce execution costs and drive efficiencies?

Market participants are quickly realising the competitive advantages they can gain through the deployment of cloud solutions. If firms want to fully embrace the power of big data and AI tools, then cloud adoption is a necessity.

In this panel, speakers will explore the front office benefits of migrating to the cloud, how to best deploy cloud- enabled solutions, concerns and perceived value, and how the trading desk should work with the IT department to ensure the desks needs are met.

  • What are the benefits of the cloud in reducing execution costs by connecting directly to venues vs through service providers?
  • Outlining the difference between cloud execution vs using cloud data analytics providers.
  • What are the potential risks and associated costs with disrupting current legacy systems?
  • How should the trading desk and IT department collaborate to ensure front office requirements are fed into the cloud migration roadmap?
  • How is data security protected to ensure client data is safe?
