In the early days, they had to use in-house developed technology building their own hardware and operating systems. They kept up with the cutting edge of technology through in-house research and leveraging developments coming out of universities, research outfits and the proverbial two guys in a garage. The fundamental challenges have not changed much over the last hundred years. In the 1850s the avalanche of market data was a problem that the London Stock Exchange had to tackle as the telegraph networks became congested. Herbie will present a quick tour of some areas where he and his former colleagues have used technology with varying levels of success and then finish with a discussion of where today’s technology – especially technology from academia and research houses - can be deployed.
