We continue to increase the number of innovative software tools for our clients and bringing Brian on board will most certainly further these initiatives. His deep experience and expertise in financial services software development will greatly enhance our unique tools, which in many cases are developed specifically for a clients needs. We pride ourselves on the proprietary software and level of service that we offer to customers, and Brian will be a valuable asset in both respects, said Mark Davies, CEO of S3.
Davies continued, Tobin has been an invaluable member of our team for years and has been a driving force behind the expansion of our services as well as the growth of our company
Given todays fragmented market structure, a one size fits all solution to monitoring and analytics simply is not effective. Working with our clients to understand their specific needs and developing specialized solutions to support, whether they are for regulatory use or internal to determine best execution, is at the core of our business.”
