PORTWARE LEADS DEBATE ON OPTIMUM EXECUTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR THE BUY-SIDE AT TRADETECH PARIS, 2

Added: (Thu Apr 19 2007)

Pressbox (Press Release) - London, UK � 19 April 2007 � The technological empowerment of the buy-side has fuelled demand for the integration of Execution Management Systems (EMS) with Order Management Systems (OMS) to deliver the necessary latency and capacity for today�s fast moving markets. This poses a number of challenges for the buy-side from system selection and implementation, to where execution management capability should reside.



To explore the challenges, Eric Goldberg, chief executive officer, Portware; Ignatius John, senior technology analyst, AXA Rosenberg Investment Management; and Klaus Timpel, head of equity trading, Deutsche Asset Management, will take part in a debate entitled, What Constitutes The Ideal Buy-Side EMS: Broker vs. Neutral; Integrated Into OMS vs. Stand-Alone?



The session, at TradeTech Paris 2007, Thursday 26 April, 4:15pm, will examine a number of key issues including: the buy-sides appetite for increased control of execution venues; assessing the possibilities of pre and post-trade analytics linked into EMS; integrating EMS into the trade-flow; and best practices for working with brokers and technology partners to ensure effective integration of systems.



Portware will also be attending the TradeTech 2007 Awards, on Wednesday 25 April, and has been nominated for the Best EMS award, following the successful delivery of its global, broker-neutral, multi-asset, trading systems to more than 100 firms worldwide.
