It's all about the meaning of the data

OK, it's easy to be cynical - but if all these groups can agree consistent data definitions, and maintain these in the ISO 20022 repository, then it genuinely solves a lot of problems. The varying formats and protocols are secondary to the meaning of the underlying data, as Mike Bennett's excellent work for the EDM Council is demonstrating.

Sibos finger on the pulse - where manual trumps automation

Automation is one of the conference sessions at Sibos this year. The traditional mantra has been automation is best, but this has changed somewhat. Should all trades that can be automated always just go out the door without manual review? Probably not. Market turmoil means investment and asset managers need take back control with the manual review ...

Is This The Last European SIBOS As We Know It?

The registration numbers have been issued this morning and show about 2,000 delegates from Asia and the Americas. The remainder of the nearly 7,000 delegates are from EMEA.

Sibos: the real theme is cost reduction

We’ve been gearing up for Sibos for a couple of months now and in all our discussions with London-based international bankers, the show’s themes of the three Rs: Regulation, Rebuilding Trust and Recovery, seem to be ringing true. However, it’s also clear that regulatory compliance will be taking the lions’ share of companies’ resources and atte...

What I know and believe about social media.

Not much. No, seriously, really not that much. Well, that's not strictly true. I do have some beliefs and knowledge about the use of social media from a personal, professional and every day life point of view. But, you know what, I bet they are not based on experience that is longer or more nuanced than any of you. I put up a Linkedin profile arou...

Sibos

Arrive on the Sunday straight to the Hotel and then on to the Arena, photo taken, badge issued, now where is the stand. Into the Hall and the same question comes to mind “how the hell are they going to have all this ready by tomorrow morning? But they always do. Five o’ clock arrives and you see the carpet going down and the reason why your feet a...

I had little to say having spent my Sunday afternoon watching my eldest son’s football team put in a great performance yet still losing eight nil. The dis...

Predictability of revenue

Building trust, both internally and externally, is the mantra of the asset management community today. What does this mean? For any initiative more reporting and more cross checking.

Stimulus for Road Construction? How about Payments!

Living in the Chicago area, I've spent my fair share of time in traffic congestion trying to get to the airport. (Anyone familiar with Chicago ORD will also know that finding a plane that leaves on time is another challenge - but that's a different story). Chicago is known for having only two seasons - winter, and construction season. This past ...
