About the Event
Learn how companies such as
Intel and Oracle are embracing the challenge of
MiFID. Hear industry experts discuss the complexities
involved with this directive from the business
and testing viewpoint.
Now is the time to take MiFID
testing seriously. The EU’s Markets in Financial
Instruments Directive (MiFID) becomes law on November
1st, 2007. This seminar will provide Test Managers,
MiFID Programme Managers and IT professionals
with vital information to ensure their firms’
IT infrastructures are ready and fully-tested
to meet MiFID specific best execution obligations.
MiFID is more than just a compliance
issue. Speed and low latency are critical. You’ll
need to test for MiFID requirements such as ‘likelihood’
or how likely trades are to be fulfilled. Best
Execution won’t be optional, so you need
to prepare your systems to deliver provable Best
Execution performance.
At this seminar you will
learn about:
- The implications of the EU’s
MiFID legislation and its impact on IT infrastructures
- How technology leaders such
as Intel and Oracle are contributing to the
development of IT Reference Architectures to
support the implementation of MiFID
- How Financial Services
Testing Group Member organisations are now delivering
the testing solutions needed to validate these
IT Reference Architectures for live MiFID environments
Who
should attend?
This seminar is suitable for
Test Managers, MiFID Programme Managers and IT
Managers working in the City for firms looking
to take advantage of MiFID.
