Great innovation by C24 and this should be taken up by all firms burdened with the pain of annual SWIFT upgrades.Love the use of the Cloud and sets a bar others should try and jump over

We are in this mess because of the fragmentation of the markets. If there was a central market where all quotes and orders were published there would be total transparancy and best execution would be seen to be provided. The current set up does not provide investors with what they need and no ammount of rules can put in place what has been lost

I cant see a solution through rule change but can if it is bt market structure change 

Lets hope this storm blows through and everyone is safe. Puts everything into perspective 

Despite such a difficult and expensive trip this SIBOS has probably exceeded expectations. Most people in my network were not going and rather save their pennies for next year. Looking at the delegate numbers v vendors it looks a really expensive event this year and with the global economy in such downturn and with modern technology is not about time these old fashioned exhibitions were left as history? Most firms do most of their work during the year and this event is not really as unique as it once was. A money spinner for some though 

Security should be the prime requirement not an afterthought.However with any transaction through the Cloud or any third party will have security concerns. Heck once a firm queried SWIFT security with my firm. So nothing is really totally secure as we all know but you can do the utmost to try and secure. Thats what most ask for

Not before time Craig and it cant come soon enough.Corporates have been denied for far too long.Lets hope that the rush to the tape is fast and succesful

Not much new technology here as there are plenty of software firms in this space. However it does show that people writing off Trace are being a tad premature

Really very interesting in the post trade matching and SSI space with real competition with SWIFTs new announcement concerning matching and the Bankers Almanac for SSIs. Financial services firms are getting real choice and should see their costs come plummeting down

This is an excellent set up as SSIs still remain a blot on the STP landscape. If this services can be allied to matching they would really be hitting the spot. I expect this will soon become a focus for the company

This makes sense at least from a SWIFT point of view. Its really a more formal illustration of actually how SWIFT works within its community. Success must be measured in how many new customers SWIFT gain in the future. How nuetral will SWIFT be? Not very is the answer as they are clearly moving into a Microsoft like position
