Real-time surveillance at T+1 cost Simple integration and cloud-based hosting have significantly reduced cost elements that hamper tradi- tional surveillance platforms. Re- al-time monitoring, now an explicit requirement of RTS6, is not only achievable but also significantly im- proves effectiveness and visibility. Intra-day manipulation of alert parameters reduces erroneous output, thus minimising noise. Similarly, real-time reports make access to data for investigation more flexible and useable. 2. High performance – simplicity out of complexity Surveilling more asset-classes, across multiple business lines and flows to facilitate true multi-asset, cross-venue monitoring requires a C O N T E N T ] 25/09/2017 15:07 platform that scales, and on which day-to-day changes can be quickly and nimbly deployed. Back-testing on the same infra- structure as scenario-replay capa- bilities makes optimisation simple and timely. Platforms built from the ground-up with regulatory account- ability at their core, make for fully audited and compliant workflow, whilst enabling valuable insight into trading analytics. 3. Professional intelligence Keeping alert logic and scenarios current is critical to the success of real-time surveillance. Next genera- tion technologies allow new logic to be deployed without the overhead of big system upgrades. Deploying new alert scenarios should be turn- key and regular - built and shipped by practitioners for practitioners – and with the flexibility to fine-tune once deployed. The Aquis Market Surveillance (AMS) next-generation platform is designed, built and run by profes- sionals with years of regulated mar- ket experience, specifically to meet the demands of those electronic trading participants of all sizes. With innovation at its heart, the AMS platform is built for flexibility and performance. Aquis Technolo- gies’ unique approach to integration and deployment is key to delivering top-class but affordable surveillance capabilities. A highly configurable user interface, report suite and re- al-time alerting have already made it the preferred choice for market professionals looking to navigate the stormy waters ahead.
