Building Success, Buying Excellence
4 factors to consider when upgrading trading infrastructure
When it comes to building out and upgrading trading infrastructure, firms must decide whether they’re looking for a custom-built, in-house solution or a ready-made product that’s going to get them in the market faster.
Exegy recognizes the diverse needs of its customers and offers a unique approach that empowers clients to both build and buy solutions tailored to their specific trading requirements. Here are four reasons why Exegy is an expert at helping our clients make build-vs-buy decisions about upgrading trading infrastructure:
1. A Wealth of Expertise
Exegy’s expertise in the latest trading technology is second to none. We boast the deepest bench of FPGA-hardware experts in the industry and decades of experience innovating for the financial markets. We hold over 150 patents and a commitment to constantly innovating our solutions to adapt to ever-changing market environments.
For example, earlier this year we released our next generation ticker plant that was custom designed to handle the upcoming changes to OPRA.
Expertise and industry-specific knowledge allow us to assist our clients with their infrastructure needs. By understanding the difficulties that upcoming market changes might cause, we know how to best advise our clients to meet their goals whether through turnkey solutions or in-house builds.
2. Trusted Partner
We understand that each client has unique trading needs, and our team of Exegy Experts works closely with them to provide personalized support and guidance. From these conversations, our experts are able to learn firsthand what keeps our clients up at night.
With a nuanced understanding of our clients’ needs we’re then able to help them innovate with custom-built infrastructure.
Take our recent success with the FPGA-based FIX engine. By offloading FIX Protocol processing from software to hardware and acting like in-house engineers for one of our existing clients we were able to create a turnkey solution for the entire industry. This solution revolutionized software-based companies’ use of their server resources by a factor of 10-20x.
