whitepaper Automating the Confirmation of Derivative Trades2007-09-01 IBM
  Trading in derivatives continues to grow at a rapid pace. Failure to confirm derivative trading transactions in a timely manner creates considerable risks, particularly for sell-side firms. Not surprisingly, firms are seeking ways to improve their derivatives confirmation processing and thereby minimize their risk and exposure. Increased automation is critical to such efforts. This paper outlines a derivatives confirmation solution architecture designed to help financial markets firms minimize or eliminate many manual steps that often occur during the post-trade phase of OTC derivatives. Workflow management, database management, document templates, and message queuing software combine to form a cohesive architecture for managing the derivatives confirmation and trade maintenance processes.

whitepaper Performance Testing of Trading Applications2007-08-22 AppLabs
  Trading applications are a good example of composite applications, encompassing legacy applications, third party order management systems, exchanges, middle office and back office systems. Functionality of the applications in these business ecosystems is assured through functional and multiple regression test cycles. Success of a financial services enterprise depends on the customer/end user experience which is determined by the real time performance of their trading applications. While all the determinants of performance are not in control of an enterprise, careful analysis of the technology and application stack that is within its control can help identify the performance bottlenecks and come up with recommendations for right infrastructure, configuration and tuning.

whitepaper Improving Consumers' Contactless Payment Experience2007-07-01 Texas Instruments
  Contactless cards are a key technology for improving the consumer experience for retail transactions. Both computational speed and RF sensitivity are factored into the consumer's perceived transaction time. So a balance between speed and energy efficiency (a.k.a. sensitivity) is required in the chip design. The sensitivity of the contactless card is a more important metric than the computational speed, but the implementation of both translates into a better, overall user experience. Implementing a highly sensitive solution equates to a larger read zone and provides more time for the contactless card and the reader to complete a transaction while the card is in motion. The larger read zone means there is less hunting for the sweet spot on the reader.

whitepaper Faster Payments Service: Impact on IT Systems and Testing for Compliance2007-05-30 AppLabs
  The existence of Faster Payments Service (FPS) demonstrates the ability of the financial sector to listen to the concerns of consumer bodies and respond to these concerns without the need for recourse to legislation. Now that FPS will be offered by some financial organizations to their customers this becomes a clear service differentiator versus non-FPS institutions. Some banks will be able to offer instantaneous funds transfers with the financial benefits and convenience this brings, whilst other banks will be tied to slower and less customer-friendly methods. This white paper describes the FPS and the impact it will have on IT systems, and illustrates the approach that needs to be taken to ensuring that the organization can participate successfully in the scheme.
