More about the Hosting Publication Waters

Since its launch in 1993, Waters has been relied on by financial technology professionals worldwide for focused, in-depth coverage of financial market data and technology.

The financial services industry spends more on technology than any other. Banks and investment banks rely on technology to help keep their traders ahead of the competition. As firms trade up their systems, Waters defines the challenges that the top global financial services confront, be they old school issues like trading room systems and operations or new business propositions like consortia portals and e-commerce spin-offs.

Waters also examines fundamental issues like talent retention and compensation (see our annual salary benchmark every December in our careers issue). Regular contributions from industry experts provide exclusive insights from some of the world’s most highly respected IT professionals, allowing readers to hear from those making the decisions on how technology is changing the world of financial services. Waters also profiles the financial services firms who are breaking in new technologies, as well as new vendor solutions which could provide the next big leap.

Monthly special reports offer additional in-depth coverage of market specific IT initiatives including fixed income, equities, derivatives and FX as well as strategic enterprise-wide initiatives like ASP’s and eCRM.
