Automating OTC Derivatives

Presenters: Robert Stowsky, Brook Path Partners; Wayne Meikle, IONA.

OTC derivative transactions are increasing in volume and complexity, carrying billions of dollars in transactions per year; however, most derivatives still consist of manual processes, emails and faxes. Confirmations take days, not seconds. Errors, costs, and a firm’s risk exposure have increased. Supporting multiple counterparties each using different FpML versions and multiple dialects has created an unsupportable and inefficient infrastructure.

Attend this informative webinar to learn:

Challenges in managing the lifecycle of OTC derivatives
How to extend and modernize IT systems
Best practices for derivatives message automation
Use cases and tools for developing, validating and testing FpML messages

Real World SOA: Lessons Learned and Best Practices

Presenters: Sandra Rogers, Analyst, IDC, John Pelak, ISV Technology Evangelist, Microsoft, Andrew O'Sullivan, VP Services, IONA

Description: Over 75% of software projects fail to meet time, budget or quality goals. This rate of failure increases for distributed, enterprise-wide projects when the integration of disparate front and backend systems is required. While there is not a one-size-fit-all solution for all integration projects, there are some lessons learned from real world experience that can help you to minimize project risk and streamline processes.

Hear from three industry leading companies - IDC, Microsoft and IONA Technologies - to learn about the common challenges with enterprise integration SOA projects and how organizations like yours have overcome them.

In this Webinar you will learn about:

The common challenges enterprises face and the new hybrid approaches companies are considering
How a distributed approach to service oriented architecture (SOA) can streamline processes and create a more flexible infrastructure for a legacy integrations
Architectural recommendations for better enterprise integration and what you need to consider before you get started.

Equip yourself to better manage and implement your next integration project.

Real World SOA Testing

Deliver IT Projects on Time, Every Time with IONA

Why All the Hype about SOA & Testing?

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is rapidly becoming a mainstream approach to application development. As organizations make the shift towards SOA, an alarmingly high percentage of projects are delivered late, meet only a fraction of requirements or fail outright, often because integration testing occurs too late in the lifecycle. Discovering serious defects at this stage can be very costly to fix.

Hear from Current Analysis, Credit Suisse and IONA Technologies how to:

Apply strategies to address the challenges of testing heterogeneous SOA environments
Leverage shared test procedures and assets across the organization
Streamline SOA testing by simulating "end-to-end" distributed application scenarios
Dramatically reduce the time, resources and costs allocated to testing by capturing software defects earlier in lifecycle
Deliver higher quality solutions to market weeks ahead of schedule

Best Practices for SWIFTNet FIN Coexistence and Convergence Initiatives

SWIFT Are coexistence and convergence issues of SWIFTNet FIN draining your IT resources? Learn how to address and streamline these initiatives in this Webinar. Global financial services firms have built extensive processing systems using legacy SWIFTNet FIN (MT) messages, which now carry trillions of dollars in daily transactions. New business requirements are putting pressure on IT to automate, extend and modernize these systems, which have become very difficult to maintain and change. What was once an asset has become a liability which can lead to capital losses and firm reputation failure if invalid data is processed internally or between parties.

These pressures are compounded by market and regulatory changes in the industry landscape, new SWIFTSolutions and ISO20022 based standards, and the need for IT to support the old and the new standards simultaneously.

Download this lively Webinar to learn:

An update on SWIFTStandards
SWIFTNet FIN message compliance issues and impact on the business and IT
How the established FIN standards co-exist with the new MX standards, and how to support them both
The benefits of a model-driven, service-based architecture
Best practices for developing and validating business critical messaging standards

Presenters: Wayne Meikle, Director of Financial Services, IONA Technologies, and Malene McMahon, Business Manager in the Standards Department of SWIFT.
