AEMS Global Head of Strategy
We understand that at the heart of every IT
expenditure decision-making process lies
the critical question of how to gain access
to leading and reliable technology at the
best possible cost, whilst minimizing any
potential risk to the business.
AEMS is the leading provider of IT solutions
for the financial markets.
Our clients range from some of the world’s
largest derivatives exchanges to a range of
medium sized emerging market exchanges;
from investment banks requiring trading front
ends right through to settlement systems
and supervisory products.
We currently support over 20 exchange
clients around the globe–including Amman,
Muscat and Tehran Stock exchanges–from
our platform in Europe, with the majority of
our resources based in London and Paris.
Our ambition is to service our clients locally
by establishing platforms in the US, Asia and
the Middle East. This year we have
established offices in Dubai and Hong Kong
and we expect the forthcoming merger
between NYSE and Euronext to provide an
opportunity for us to establish a US
operation.
We understand that at the heart of every IT
expenditure decision-making process lies the
critical question of how to gain access to
leading and reliable technology at the best
possible cost, whilst minimizing any potential
risk to the business. This is where AEMS can
help.
AEMS has been focused on providing
exchanges with low cost, low latency and
high capacity technology solutions. A critical
challenge facing exchanges is whether to
outsource their technology and take
advantage of the efficiencies AEMS brings
from our offering of core, proven technology
solutions or, whether to build the technology
themselves.
The former allows them to focus on
managing their business and differentiating
themselves on price, performance, product
offering and quality of service, the latter
takes time and considerable investment.
Set this against a backdrop of ever-evolving
broker demands for lower cost trading
alternatives and continual regulatory change
and the outsourcing solution is compelling.
AEMS is working with clients to bring the
advantages of our advanced platforms,
superior price/performance and international
expertise to bear.
We are actively seeking to work with clients
to create long-term relationships to create
JV's or other commercial models so that
regional centres can be created to allow a
number of exchanges to share costs,
improve competitiveness and join a wider
global trading community.
AEMS’ is committed to continued investment
in our technology and ensuring that it
continues to offer the solutions exchanges,
clearing houses, banks and intermediaries
require driven by ever-more demanding
market participant requirements.
