The old way: Trading hours lost to the IT bottleneck.

Time and information are the two most precious commodities during the trading day. Yet critical information needed by brokers, traders and customers about trades and settlement is buried in scattered logfiles in cryptic FIX and proprietary transaction log formats that only developers and IT staff can access and analyze. Most institutions and trading platforms lose precious minutes or hours for every information request and burden developers and IT staff with business questions. Slow information access delays trades and leads to missed opportunity and dissatisfied customers.

The new way: IT Search puts all trade data within reach.

Splunk indexes FIX and proprietary trade and settlement data formats in real time. Powerful transaction definition capabilities allow for all events for each trade to be correlated on-the-fly. An intuitive web interface and saved searches make it easy for non-technical trade support staff to instantaneously answer any question about trade execution.
