Minimising latency in the capital markets is crucial to remaining competitive, but traditional line graph visualisations can overwhelm engineers, making it difficult to extract actionable insights from large datasets. To address this, CJC’s mosaic team worked with senior market data engineers to introduce a scatter plot approach, based on positive external feedback. By focusing on latency CJC’s engineers can identify performance issues and optimise systems easily. This innovation allows for quicker identification of outliers and inefficiencies, leading to faster, more informed decision-making.

The EU’s DORA is inevitable and will have rippling effects beyond the union, superseding previous industry-specific operational resilience guidelines and overcomes national disparities, harmonising guidelines for key focus areas across the industry value chain. This insight explores the macro impacts of DORA, summarising key sections of DORA’s full text to define (1) What Is DORA and Its 5 Focus Areas? (2) Why Is DORA Important? (3) Who Does DORA Apply To? (4) DORA Compliance vs. Non-Compliance.

DORA goes live in less than 12 months, thrusting operational resilience and 3rd party dependencies providing managed services into the spotlight. As a critical supplier to financial firms, CJC views DORA’s standards as crucial. This insight looks at why DORA is needed, the changes, what the short & long-term impacts are, and whether DORA is a concern for clients.

Extending server lifespans could provide significant benefits, as AWS announced an expected $900m per quarter. However, haphazardly extending lifespans without sufficient accurate data is a potentially costly and dangerous game. Holistic observability is crucial for the acquisition of this data, with the number and size of blind spots corresponding to the level of risk. In this insight, we review (1) The Challenge of Market Data Capacity Management. (2) Is Extending Server Lifespans Safe? (3) Enhancing Observability, Holistically.
