We are a new breed of services organisation that has compiled the best practices of Management Consultancy, Software Development and IT Professional Services.

Our Approach

• As Management Consultants we have Methodology and approaches to solving business problems based on Value Proposition and ROI

• We are ‘lean and mean’ no woolly deliverables, no agenda to saturate your firm with over-priced consultants.

• As Financial Markets domain experts we believe in the commoditisation process of IT. Information Systems are delivered under the premise of two basic principles; the ability to ‘Automate’ and the ability to ‘Informate’.

• When our services become so streamlined and well understood that we can package the IPR in application form – we do so. We Automate and Informate through low cost application services. Examples can be seen through our products.

• As an IT Services company we provide a combination of ad-hoc, customer tailored support and formal Managed Services. We have quality references for our Bureau Services and Outsourcing in Market Data. We are extending the commercial framework of these services to Infrastructure, Reference Data and Application Integration.

• We promote transparency of value through knowledge-sharing and open standards. Our White Papers are freely available. We work closely with key industry user groups (e.g. MiFID JWG, FISD, IPUG, RDUG, etc.) and much of our software and affiliated professional services are based on open-source software.
