Capital markets participants have always looked for “best-of- breed” products to create, trade, and manage financial instruments. In the early days of automation, there were vendors specializing in each type of financial product: foreign exchange options, equity derivatives, commodity derivatives, and interest rate swaps. Banks expected to buy solutions by product from individual vendors and most of these were selling front office and middle office risk applications only. Seeing opportunity for expansion within their installed base, vendors started to complete their offerings by developing back office solutions.
