Investment Banking: Custom Software Development

Developing software for sell-side trading and securities processing involves a hundred times more data, an order of magnitude better performance, and one-tenth of time to build and test. In short, no amateurs are invited.

In this fast-paced environment, traditional fixed-price, fixed-scope contracting rarely works. Instead, companies must bring the best available talent together by assembling hybrid on-site/off-site teams.

Clients choose vendors based on four simple criteria:

  • Speed and agility of team ramp-up
  • Level of IT talent
  • Knowledge and expertise in finance
  • Structured, predictable development process in an ever-changing multi-stakeholder environment

"One thing that sets DataArt apart is that they are able to build development teams that are consistently and significantly stronger than any other vendor we've worked with. As a result, their development velocity is on par with, or above the best among our in-house teams". - DataArt client, senior executive at a global brokerage"
