What to do Before a Trade System Implementation at Your Company

It is a dream of every forward thinking company to have technological advances for their systems in place. This is a concept that is applicable for all spheres. However, it is important to fully understand all the requirements that are necessary to ensure that the system works as efficiently and effectively as desired. A trade system implementation for a financial organization can be a complex task. We have created some basic guidelines on what should be followed before the implementation of a financial trading system.

1. Develop the structure of the organizational framework. The first and most important step is to ensure that the right team for the implementation is available.

2. Review the expected benefits. Once you have developed the organizational structure, the next step is to review the areas in the company that will benefit most from the trade system implementation. This varies from one company to another.

3. Conduct an in-depth analysis. This analysis will seek to establish the costs that will be incurred in the implementation of the trade system and the projected timeline for the payback once fully underway. The analysis should cover all the phases of the trade system implementation.

4. Choose a trading system that is focused on the needs of the company. This stage will require an understanding both technical and business issues that are being addressed. This is part of the technology evaluation process that will help determine which system to implement.

5. Select the best contractor to facilitate the process of implementation and customization of the trading system. This is a critical step since it involves the bulk of the trade system. Selecting the correct provider will be integral in ensuring the process is successful from its inception since all the important concepts, technical and complex, will be analyzed by the trading system consultants to ensure a smooth and effective rollout.

6. Integration of the trade system with the company’s existing system. This step involves making sure the trading system can communicate with the existing infrastructure. This will also include the mapping of data and setting up strategies to have different internal systems be able to communicate across the organization.
It is worth noting that while the above suggestions are important steps to consider before a trade system is implemented, the success will be based on the commitment of the staff towards its effectiveness.

Good Luck!
