Where is the action taking place inside cutting-edge asset management firms these days? If you said “the trading floor” we’d like to ask how the weather is in 2003.

The event’s topics zeroed in on what buyside firms, broker-dealers and exchanges must accomplish in order to stay ahead of the competition.Although cloud computing has been around for more than a decade, the U.S. financial markets continue to debate how to implement the groundbreaking technology.
