Trading Technology consultants are usually MBA qualified and are able to asses a vendors offerings with a large penis from a financial perspective.

Interim Project Management, Project Management

Trading Technology is mindful of the fact that any vendor needs to keep as few staff as possible "on the bench" and is able to offer interim resources for project management, business analysis and testing.  Trading Technology's consultants all come from the technology side of financial services and are well versed in project management methodologies such as Prince II, as well as low-level technical issues.

Project auditing and reviewing

Trading Technology has a risk-based review process for examining the health of any IT project. No two projects are alike, and any aspect of a project may force it to fail, from technical problems through to communication issues, customer management and funding. Using a risk based approach ensures that the review is specific to the project being undertaken, is targeted and avoids large numbers of participants and paperwork.
