Project management of a European exchange central trading system
Put in charge of a software house development team who did not see the need for any form of management, the consultant in charge right-sized the project three-fold, installed quality assurance compatible with ISO 9001 and ensured the timely completion and installation of the system. The Exchange system went live in 1999.

Project management of a web-based private equity trading system
With the rise of start-ups as a new business model, the issue of private equity has been crucial. There are increasing numbers of companies seeking investment and more funds available to invest. Trading Technology was given project management responsibility for developing a private equity system from scratch. Trading Technology's structured approach ensured the system was developed to the high standards necessary to guarantee fairness and adherence to SFA regulations.

Getting a leading brokerage onto a new exchange
A leading brokerage in London needed to join and start trading on the newly formed Irish Stock Exchange with a deadline of two months. Trading Technology successfully mobilised the internal IT communications, operations and development groups to ready the business for the start of trading.

Program management of a large global bank's systems to be ready for SETS release 3.1.
Trading Technology was able to provide interim management to an IT department deluged with projects. With three months to go, there was no structure in place to manage the transition to SETS 3.1. Five business-critical systems needed upgrading, testing and releasing, plus some 100 users needed training on the changes. Within days, a team of project managers had been formed for each of the five systems and training staff recruited to educate users on the changes. The upgrades went live on schedule.
