Trading Systems

The team at ISN has decades of experience designing, managing and building fixed income trading systems. ISN implements a ‘sales and design’ approach for creating new systems. This approach manages the expectations of end users by integrating them into the design process from the initial stages. All trading systems have two essential components: design and liquidity. It is often overlooked that creating liquidity is a more crucial success factor than the components that make up the system.

• Market Research-– The ISN team will perform market research by integrating ‘sales and design’ into the process. The team will also scope the costs and logistics associated with straight through processing solutions.

• Functionality Design-– ISN will deliver screen shots with full business logic assigned to each screen. The team will also delineate front, mid- and back-office screens with fully integrated functionality.

• Liquidity –- Any trading system regardless of how well designed needs liquidity to be successful. ISN builds participant involvement from inception of the concept by integrating end-user input into the systems. From there, ISN manages ongoing participant relationships to assure continued liquidity commitment.

• Systems Consulting –- ISN manages multiple technology partners in order to best serve our clients’ needs including, but not limited to: systems integration; migration from legacy systems, and technology solutions for new trading systems.
