Virtually every industry in every corner of the world has undergone technological or process evolution in recent times. There are countless examples of innovations that have addressed a challenge – the process takes too long, the process costs too much, the process is too risky – and changed the game by helping organizations or individuals operate smarter through efficiency, automation, or simplification.

Let’s consider communication, or the transmission of messages, as just one area where evolution has occurred. There are ways to communicate that involve quite a bit of manual work, such as the use of a carrier pigeon. Not the quickest way to transmit a message, and not too efficient, as apparently a carrier pigeon typically only flew in one direction – home – and would need to be manually taken to a message’s original location to begin the process. Given the level of difficulty and manual intervention required, it’s no surprise we don’t see the skies full of email or text message pigeons today.

On the flip side, if we look at a more modern messaging bird, it is evident that technology has changed the game for how individuals, organizations, and governmental entities can communicate and discover information. Twitter offers its users a simplified and efficient way to communicate specific messages to an audience across the room or across the world – pointing to why the social network has amassed millions of users in just a few years.

A similar, albeit less feathery, evolution is taking place within the corporate actions space today.]]></description>

Today's economic environment has become increasingly difficult, forcing executives and managers to analyze expenditures and business practices with more scrutiny in an effort to remain profitable.

...

In addition to the expense of creating and maintaining an effective cost identification and management solution, broker-dealers are faced with the issue of the integrity of its results. Most financial services firms today are engaged in multiple businesses across global markets and with a magnitude of clients and business partners. Each new profit conduit is also an opportunity to add expense.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This blog post was taken from the Astec Analytics Securities Lending Focus for April 2013.

In the early 18th century, the bursting of what became known as the South Sea Bubble broke many fortunes. The East India Company, riding high on the global dominance of the British Empire, issued huge quantities of highly priced stock to hungry investors who believed the company’s monopoly on South American trade could not fail.

Unfortunately, they were wrong, and their clamor for the shares blinded them to the fundamental weaknesses of the company. A sudden realization burst the bubble, and the shares became worthless almost overnight. I am not, of course, directly comparing certain countries’ debt issuance with that of incompetent 18th century industrialists, but there is a certain similarity in the desperation of investors seeking safe places to put their money and the resultant bubbles in prices such actions create. ]]></description>

It started with tulips, went through corn and technology, and most recently hit property and cheap money. I am of course talking about bubbles. Not the type children play with and people write songs about, but the kind that, when they burst, can cause financial havoc.

The word “bubble” is bandied about all too often. There seems to be a constant fear that any price rise could become a short-sharp-shock. The latest in this long line up are bonds. Junk bonds, investment-grade corporates and even U.S. Treasuries – the classic ‘no-risk’ investment option – all seem to be reaching new heights.

Low interest rates and stimulus efforts from the U.S. government and Federal Reserve have brought U.S. yields to record lows. Add to this a fast flow of cash away from riskier equities and into the perceived safe haven of bonds, and maybe there is a case to be made that these fixed income securities are starting to get overheated.

Is this a bubble? If prices slowly retreat rather than burst, overheating like this isn’t usually defined as a bubble. So then, does this increase in demand for bonds look set to pop?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This blog post was taken from the Astec Analytics Securities Lending Focus for March 2013.

Last month I stated that I wanted to find some good news to include in Focus, but I am sorry to say that I have failed on this occasion. More doom and gloom could well be on the way.

In original drafts of the Financial Transaction Tax, securities lending and repo transactions had been exempted – in the latest drafts, this has changed, and a tax of 0.1% will be applied to one leg of each trade – i.e. the first exchange of lent securities and collateral will attract a 0.1% levy on both parties, but the return of the loan will be exempt.]]></description>

It is well known that Asia is leading the world in the proportion of trades achieving same-day affirmation (SDA); most Asian trading venues comfortably exceed SDA rates of 90%, whereas the U.S. trading venues currently achieve 70%, on average. The automation of middle-office processes in Asia’s securities markets continues to be implemented with great vigor. This trend is undoubtedly being propelled by forthcoming regulatory requirements; yet there are other factors also driving the development.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the aftermath of the global credit crisis, hedge funds and their investors began to concentrate on counterparty risk and their exposure to service providers. Many hedge funds, if large enough, began to spread their positions across multiple prime brokers. At the same time, the larger firms’ appetite for offering prime brokerage services to small hedge funds was diminishing. This presented opportunities for some of the smaller firms and created an opening for new prime services entrants to the market.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Better than expected earnings results are usually the cause for celebration. It is par for the course surely, that to one extent or another, a share price should tick-up if the numbers are good? Yet since rare earth elements (REE) producer Molycorp (MCP) reported its numbers this week, which were generally seen as strong in most areas, the share price has only gone one way – down! Of course it is no mystery why this is; the day after posting these buoyant figures Molycorp disclosed to investors that it was undergoing a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation pertaining to the accuracy of its public disclosures. Ouch. Nobody gets happy over good results if you are suspicious they may not be accurate in the first place.]]></description>

The ESMA guidelines on automated trading (2012/122) – dictating that anyone using and/or providing direct market access (DMA) needs automated controls and surveillance in place, coupled with the buy side’s increased interest in execution, has resulted in the buy side looking at more sophisticated, and in some cases automated, surveillance and monitoring solutions. Spot checks will not be adequate to meet regulator expectations in 2013.]]></description>

What is becoming clearer is that with this growing interest, those traders actively taking bets against the company are growing in number. A look at securities lending data starts to tell us the story.]]></description>

He went on to say that their biggest mistake was a focus on HTML5 across the board.  As you’d expect, the outpouring of emotional responses both for and against HTML5 was swift and dramatic. Thousands of articles, blogs and podcasts flooded both developer and news forums across the Internet as scores of both pundits and amateurs leapt into the fray.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The ASEAN trading link announced its launch in September 2012. The link will firmly establish the ASEAN nations as an investment and trading bloc, and is also expected to attract new foreign investment to the region, as well as provide better opportunities for local capital.

Local Asian brokerage firms will probably benefit most from the link. They are now in a better position to compete with major international brokerage houses to manage the inflow business coming from neighboring countries, and they will also now have outbound access to local exchanges. While international brokerages have already established their own networks and unilateral relationships at the individual exchanges, the ASEAN trading link will bring the local brokers up to speed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the $270 billion of annual revenue that over-the-counter (OTC) securities and derivatives dealers collect from trading will likely fall by at least 20 percent once mandatory clearing becomes effective, new revenues driven by collateral optimization services for non-cleared swaps are likely to backfill that lost revenue.

Collateral optimization will allow dealers supervised by U.S. banking regulators – which we’ll call “bank dealers” – to operate under specific margin collection rules to collateralize non-cleared swaps, including segregation, calculation, and netting. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SunGard recently conducted a study to better understand how corporations were addressing the various challenges around ePayment adoption and the migration to ACH and virtual cards. The study included 171 participants spanning a broad range of industry and revenue classifications, with 48% of the respondents from companies with more than $1 billion in revenue. Not surprising, ePayment adoption continues to elude even the most sophisticated organizations. The study found that internal barriers coupled with lack of knowledge of the available options are the primary obstacles. This finding suggests  that there is an opportunity for many companies to move to electronic payments via an outsourced provider. ]]></description>

Adding to this pressure, client and regulatory demands to deliver best execution have to be met in a context of declining volumes and intense competition. The overall pressure on margins means that brokers have to consider carefully how to undertake any business development initiatives in the most efficient and cost-effective ways.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recent volatility in global markets has prompted insurers to introduce more rigorous risk modelling into their risk management discipline. “Vulnerability to Volatility Risk – a Global Challenge,” a survey conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit for SunGard, concluded that a majority of bankers, insurers and asset managers, as well as finance executives at non-financial companies, consider their organizations to be vulnerable to exceptional or sudden swings in volatility. More than half of the respondents in this survey say their company conducts stress tests or scenario analysis to check their ability to cope with volatility just once a year or once in six months. That means the majority of these organizations are seriously exposed in today’s fast-moving markets.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’ve just crossed the half-year mark, and inarguably, one of the biggest buzzwords of 2012 so far has been “big data.” Several trends are beginning to emerge around big data that are poised to transform financial services. Much of this stems from our ability to now move beyond the traditional relational database models and unlock value in data like never before. Where firms may have discarded semi-structured or unstructured data in the past, today we can find new ways to utilize it – it’s all-encompassing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Come July 2012, FINRA will be “raising the bar” on the fiduciary obligations financial advisors have relative to their clients. While prior rules (FINRA 405 &#038; 2090) emphasized transaction suitability, FINRA 2111 suitability &#038; 2090 know your customer rules focus on greater investor protection and advisor accountability. This puts the onus on financial advisors to use reasonable diligence and understand essential facts about their clients.

Broker dealers need to interpret and incorporate the new FINRA regulations into their technology solutions to ensure they are in compliance. What is the scope of this activity? What are the rules and enhancements necessary to fulfill the obligation set forth by FINRA?]]></description>

Finding ways to process payrolls more efficiently is a personal passion of mine. I am constantly looking for ways to improve the data collection process.  I also look to find ways to empower the person submitting the data with the information they need to adjust their payroll data in response to validation results.

		<description><![CDATA[Software-as-a-service (SaaS), also known as “on-demand software,” is a delivery model in which software and its associated data are hosted centrally, typically in the cloud. Users normally access this software by using a web browser over the Internet. The financial services industry’s extensive use of SaaS programs has provided a significant foundation for migration to cloud-based platforms. Many of the processing, storage and security tools that a financial services organization requires to run its business are now available through cloud-based applications. In fact, the cloud is expected to dominate technology growth for the next 20 years. Cloud-computing technology is expected to increase at five times the rate of traditional information technology (IT), while representing only 12% of total IT product spending by 2014.]]></description>

For financial firms, mobility is still a technology that can be leveraged to capture new business and maintain a leadership position.

		<description><![CDATA[Corporations remain under continuous pressure to reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies. One of the easiest ways to do this is by migrating payments from check to electronic. However, I am seeing more and more corporations taking the migration to electronic payments a step further by implementing virtual card programs which can turn their A/P departments from cost centers to revenue centers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) standards requirement contained in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act has been largely overlooked in light of other priorities contained in the law. Yet, it is potentially a change that will require a significant amount of system and data changes for the industry.  LEIs are a new concept that would provide industry regulators with additional transparency and risk management of exposure by being able to match open positions of individual legal entities across multiple market participants.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With 2012 underway, it’s clear that caution is at an all-time high among investors. This is reflected in shrinking trading volumes and tighter brokerage commissions—a sharp contrast to years past, according to major media reports.

To stay ahead, brokerages across the globe will likely have to redouble their efforts to attract and keep more investors this year. Luckily, trading firms will have an array of regulatory reforms and directives, electronic trading and connectivity tools, emerging standards and some cutting-edge options at their disposal to help them attract more investors and bolster their fortunes.]]></description>

If you are reading this, you are, most likely, familiar with some of the reasons to “go green” and most of the reasons to migrate to electronic forms of payment.  The fact that you’re still reading probably means that you haven’t gone green or electronic or that you’ve only been partially successful at one, or the other, or both.  If you are a treasury or finance professional, you most likely already know that there are many good reasons to migrate to electronic payments.  Despite this, many companies have not done so.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently participated in another Twitterview with DerivSource, who asked me several questions about transformations happening in the post-trade processing space. Within the context of regulatory reform, firms are recognizing the need to make changes to meet new rules, both those that have been identified and those still to be determined.

In the Q&#38;A, we talked about data management, collateral management, approaches to regulatory compliance, and more. One of the most important ideas that came across is the concern that firms may be planning to respond to regulations one by one rather than equipping themselves with the ability to address multiple regulations in a flexible way.]]></description>

As a bicycle shop owner you need to have a wide variety of bicycles that satisfy an even wider variety of customer tastes – color, size, cost, material, style, accessories, etc.  Some customers just want an off-the-shelf, pre-assembled bicycle.  More sophisticated customers like to assemble their bicycles from scratch.  If you want your bicycle shop to succeed you need to make sure you can cater to all types of customers.  Variable, flexible are key elements of a successful bike shop owner.  Similarly, configurable and extensible are key elements of a successful lease management software application.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I attend many payments industry conferences and meet with many payments professionals, and I continually hear the same theme around vendor enrollment, also referred to as vendor enablement or vendor adoption.  It is the single biggest hurdle for companies seeking to migrate from checks to electronic payments such as ACH or virtual card. Because most companies transact business with thousands of vendors, time and staff constraints often limit the rate at which vendors are invited to receive electronic payments.  Historically, these initiatives were driven by a desire to reduce check payment costs.  Increasingly, these initiatives are now driven by a desire to increase card spend in order to receive rebates generated by virtual card programs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investment trends in the $4.5 Trillion Defined Contribution (DC) market are stretching the definition of an ‘open architecture’ investment platform.  Historically, open architecture meant you or your partner offered a significant number of mutual funds from a variety of managers.  While mutual funds still hold a significant amount of DC assets, alternative investments are taking hold and growing.  Recent research from Celent predicts growth in non-mutual fund options, including Collective investment trusts, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), separate accounts and retirement income products.  If an investment platform wants to remain truly ‘open,’ it will need to consider extending its mutual fund platforms to include these alternatives and the technology and operational challenges that go with them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is clear that regulatory changes are transforming the OTC derivatives space, from execution to settlement. There are many challenges at play here. As we head into 2012, market participants will need to manage large volumes of data in order to clear and process trades, and we will see new pressures on the cost and the more effective use of capital. In response to this industry transformation, my team and I have identified 10 key trends shaping OTC derivatives today.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Electronic bank account management (eBAM) , an automated approach to the opening, closing and management of bank accounts seems simple, right? So simple in fact, that when the idea was first introduced a few years ago, corporates were just clamoring for the technology. But, was it a pipe dream? Or just the wrong timing? Why didn’t it gain the traction first expected? And why is there all the hype again?

So just what is CGI and why should you be interested?  Well, certainly if you work for a global corporate that’s multi-banked, dealing with multiple payment types across different geographies, CGI is an interesting proposition.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a rule that providers do not have to achieve meaningful use of Electronic Health Records in order to participate in an Accountable Care Organization.  Providers have strong incentives to implement EHR, but they are not required in order to be in an ACO network.  Along with their EHR incentives, providers have a lot of other technology hurdles in front of them (e.g. 5010/ICD-10).  At my doctor’s office, I see some new information technology use at the front desk and occasionally in the exam room.  But moreover, I still see rows and rows of color-coded paper folders holding patient records, stacks of folders in a daily queue and paper exchanging hands for receipts, scripts and other key transactions.  In healthcare, as in most parts of our society, paper is an old and dying king, but it is still king.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every corporate treasurer is undoubtedly faced (on a daily basis) with the following questions:

Where in the world is my cash and what currency is it in?
Can I mobilize it?
Do I invest or borrow?
At the end of the day, was I right and how should I protect myself from tomorrow’s risks?
Why are these questions on the minds of treasurer's? Because market disruptions have increased the visibility of and demands on treasury. And consequently, the treasurer is concerned about counterparty exposure, centralization and visibility, forward-looking analysis, data transparency, risk measures and regular policy review – now, than ever before.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The term “in-house bank” carries a variety of meanings. On one end of the spectrum, it simply refers to the ability of an organization to provide basic internal funding to its subsidiaries; on the other end, it represents a complete banking and financing arm of an organization that performs much like a third party banking institution, including ‘pay on behalf of’ and ‘receive on behalf of’ structures. Regardless of meaning or use, implementing elements of an in-house bank can help treasury add value to the organization.]]></description>

Conversely, when evaluating overall satisfaction by large employers, they experience a decreased benchmark by an average of five percentage points, from 64% in 2008 to 59% in 20091.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People often ask me, “Hey Mike, when do you think checks will disappear as a form of payment?” This is a good question; not just because companies like mine are focused on helping other companies Leave the Check Behind, but because checks are costly; they consume natural resources; they are subject to fraud; and they are the most inefficient form of payment available. And it’s not just companies that print a lot of checks. A large number of consumer to consumer and consumer to business payments are still transacted by check. Many times, this question comes with a qualifier; generally something like: “Will it take government intervention?”“Do the banks need to band together to end checks?” I think we can look to the UK for some clues.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since it was introduced 20 years ago, mobile technology has evolved to become one of the most widely deployed innovations in modern history.  There are more than 5.3 billion mobile devices in use globally[A1] ; nearly 80% of the world population owns a mobile phone.  In comparison, world-wide there are 4 billion FM radios, 1.6 billion TVs sets, and the number of PCs in use trail behind at a relatively meager 1.2 billion.  By the end of the 2011 almost half the US population – 150 million people - will have a smartphone[A2] , and in much of the world the Internet is already accessed more from mobile devices than from computers connected by landlines.  But what does this mean for financial services companies?]]></description>

In an era of performing more tasks with fewer resources, one would imagine that treasury technology alternatives, specifically bank connectivity, would become easier. Instead, it seems that as staff dwindles, bank communication options increase, and with it, a myriad of considerations. Just think, for a corporate to communicate/interface with just one bank, a decision tree that resembles the following ensues:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of today’s technology leaders didn’t plan the technology stack that they support but rather they inherited it.  Typically that stack evolved from a core accounting or contract management platform and over the years had additional functionality bolted on to support modern originations, channel management, credit decisioning, document management, collections and asset management.  Transactions today may pass through a dozen applications in a typical leasing life cycle and that situation may be complicated even further where the variety of financial products offered cannot be supported by the legacy systems in place.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Duchess of Windsor once famously remarked that you can never be too rich or too thin. Based on conversations I’ve had with customers recently, I’d amend that to say you can never be too streamlined or too automated. At least that seems to be the case if you’re looking to optimize healthcare claim payment processes. These processes remain a constant favorite for additional streamlining and automation, especially in this era of healthcare reform and ICD-10. Our customers today are pursuing more-ambitious initiatives then we’ve ever seen – and we’ve been helping healthcare payers streamline claims for about twenty years.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As global regulators introduce new rules and market changes, banks are feeling pressure in every area of their business. One in particular is around collateral management and optimization. A huge liquidity strain and increased demand for collateral assets have brought collateral management to the top of banks’ agendas. But, what is the right collateral management approach in this new regulatory environment?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the speed and content of information dissemination increases, we adapt or lose our competitive edge.

Legend says that in Ancient Greece, after the battle of Marathon, Pheidippides ran about 240 km from Athens to Sparta to deliver word of the Greek victory over Persia. According to the story, when he arrived in Sparta, Pheidippides announced “Νενικήκαμεν” (We have won), then immediately collapsed and died from exhaustion. Even if Pheidippides needed to deliver the same message a few decades ago, he likely would have relied on a fax machine. Today’s communication expectations might be a text message sent to the Spartan army in mere milliseconds – and the texter could survive the process!]]></description>

In my conversations with senior-level operations managers, I often point out that:

		<description><![CDATA[Forward-looking corporations are increasingly thinking about strategic initiatives that will help them optimize liquidity, streamline communications and lower operational costs. To achieve these goals, some are introducing automation, innovation and efficiency into the management of cash and risk and their surrounding workflow processes. With these factors in mind, there are several key trends that I have been noticing in our industry as corporations strive to make sound liquidity management a reality. I will address two of these below. ]]></description>

Over 1,300 institutional investors surveyed by Barclays Capital in April reported that they execute more than 77% of their trades electronically across all asset classes compared to less than 50% in 2006.

		<description><![CDATA[Wherever you sit or whatever job you do, you’ve just witnessed the biggest change to the financial services industry in living memory.  A wave of regulations , the growth of emerging markets, and revolutionary technologies are not only reshaping the financial services industry; the very pace of change has become quicker. It creates big challenges for organizations. But, with big challenges also come big opportunities.  I personally find it to be a very exciting time. We’re helping our customers capitalize on the opportunities presented by change by helping them increase transparency and efficiency and better leverage networks.

The terms latency, low-latency, ultra-low latency; high-frequency trading; algorithmic trading; naked-access have all entered our lexicon.  We have gone from measuring execution times in seconds, to milliseconds, to micro-seconds and nano-seconds and now pico-seconds.  Indeed, physical law – the speed of light – is now viewed by some as a limiting factor.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On March 27th the 2011 Formula 1 season kicks off with the Qantas Australian Grand Prix. Each of the teams will have spent untold millions of dollars refining their cars to be as fast and as aerodynamic as possible. The drivers will study the tracks and other drivers carefully, plotting and memorizing the optimal driving lines, and when the race day arrives they will constantly drive at the edge of their ability in their bid to win pole position. Speed is everything in this game and anything - from the tilt of a fin to the flow of air over the nose - can give the vital, incremental advantage needed to win. But driving at such speeds carries very serious risks both for the drivers, those around them, the spectators, and ultimately the reputation of the sport. That's why each year the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) issues a set of rules designed to promote safety and fairness between the teams by strictly governing the design and performance of the cars. On February 3rd the FIA published fifteen such technical rules for the 2011 season - four based on safety considerations and eleven addressing fairness. Together they control detailed technical specifications such as the placement of rear-view mirrors, minimum chassis height and the aerodynamic design of rear fins. 
Does any of this sound familiar?
