Join Greenwich Associates for an in-depth webinar looking at how high performing trading desks are taking control of their data, streamlining workflow and improving trading and operational performance. Data is the lifeblood of trading but many desks do not have the right tools or techniques necessary to process the terabytes of data each day.
Join us to learn:
- How trading desks can extract value out of their own disparate data sources
- How to use the latest technology to help you understand and optimize your trading workflow
- How Smart Visualization techniques can assist with anomaly detection
