WHY:

With over $181.5 billion in write-offs taken by brokerage firms in the aftermath of the credit crunch, financial institutions are seeking new growth opportunities to enhance the performance and control of their real-time trading and risk management systems.

Through a unique blend of financial expertise and technical knowledge, Lab49 helps clients build their next-generation trading systems to minimize latency and maximize performance through the creation of custom solutions that leverage the latest advanced visualization, complex event processing and large-scale computing technologies.
