Over the past few years, there has been a change in the way the financial markets are trading. The Financial markets are replete with several advancements that facilitate trading across several products, geographies and currencies possibly through a single interface. Innovations like automated trading, 24 X 7 trading and market fragmentation have added to the complexity of procedures. Added to this, the fact that large sums of money are traded every day, results in a highly pressurized business environment, where technology becomes 100% business critical. If the technology is compromised or if it doesn’t meet the expectation, it will never be accepted by the business. Therefore, there is overwhelming pressure on the CTO/CIO on building greater quality into business critical software.

Risk Management at Stock Exchanges / Trading Avenues has attained an increased significance. In view of the recent crisis in financial markets, triggered by inadequate risk containment measures, the importance of Risk Management has assumed all the more significance. Effective Risk Management practices render stability to the financial markets and its participants by ensuring proper and timely settlement of the trades. They also prevent market manipulations and other abnormal price behavior. It is imperative for any participant in the financial markets to have thoroughly tested and reliable Risk Management Systems to shield itself and its customers from any future shocks.
