A major UK securities broker

Project Purpose

A major UK securities broker had built up a suite of proprietary back office systems to support the business. As the business model changed, requests for IT to support new and changing financial instruments frequently occurred. However, due to the nature of the tightly coupled proprietary & heterogeneous software landscape, changes were difficult and costly, sometimes resulting in IT not being able to support the requirements. To enable IT to meet and align with the business, a fundamental architecture change was required.

Icon Solutions solution

To meet the customer's requirements and to overcome current problems of IT not responding quickly enough to the business, Icon's team helped to change the architectural approach to implement a service orientated, business driven IT infrastructure. The approach has now been rolled out globally.
