The More Things Change...
Anthony takes a look at what's happening at Sell-Side Technology.
Change is good. Change is necessary. And whether you want it to or not, change will happen. Change is inevitable.
My editor, Victor Anderson, made note of this in his column for the February issue of Waters. For Sell-Side Technology, there's a bit of change, as James Rundle has moved on from Waters. As a result, for at least the time being, I'll be taking over this space.
James is a tough act to follow. His coverage of the GFI Group/CME Group/BGC Partners soap opera, for example, was exhaustive. But the show must go on, so I hope to use this space on a weekly basis to entertain you, inform you, and direct you to interesting stories.
While this is my first time writing a column for the sell side, I handled this duty for Buy-Side Technology for about eighteen months previously. My good friend and colleague, Tim Bourgaize Murray ─ The Pretentious One, as I like to call him ─ took over that role in June, and if I'm being honest, no one has clamored for me to come back.
As I said...change is good.
Sometimes I'll throw my two cents into a debate, but most of the time I'll let others talk for me.
Sometimes I'll throw my two cents into a debate, but most of the time I'll let others talk for me. What's important to me is that you get a bit of insight as to the happenings on the sell side, and have perhaps a laugh or two.
And let this be a forum: If there are topics that you feel are not being written enough about on Sell-Side Technology or in Waters magazine, do not hesitate to email me or give me a call at 646-490-3973.
Transición
Speaking of Tim Murray (as you'll learn, I'm the king of seamless transitions), for the February issue of Waters he sat down with UBS chief information officer Oliver Bussmann for this month's Waters Profile.
While there are many interesting things about the man, at the top of that list ─ for our audience, anyway ─ is the fact that the Huffington Post once named him the "Most Social CIO" on Twitter.
[T]he CIO believes new communication mediums are nothing less than crucial elements in the investment bank's larger operation, with possibilities great enough and challenges of security scary enough that underlying tools and infrastructure are, themselves, transformed along the way.
Bussmann is one of those guys who's always trying to think a few moves ahead, especially when you consider how conservative capital markets firms tend to be. For this piece, he has a good take on Blockchain technology as the future for payments and settlements.
Deadline is Ticking
Finally, just a reminder that the Sell-Side Technology awards are open for entry, and will remain open until February 20. If you have any questions about the awards or how to enter, shoot me an email or give me a call.
