This week's content features several dispatches from Sifma Ops in sunny San Diego, California. We've also ended on an interesting note, as Bloomberg terminals suffered a global outage early on Friday morning. Waters and IMD have taken a first look at the issue and possible causes, speaking with a wide variety of end users about how they were affected. More on the event is set to come.

We're also less than a week away conference season kickoff, with the North American Trading Architecture Summit (NATAS), followed by the Sell-Side Technology Awards. The conference and awards will both take place April 21 in New York. For more information on the conference and registration, click here.
