ENABLING SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAMS IN CAPITAL MARKETS TO BUILD HIGH-PERFORMANCE USER-FACING SYSTEMS UP TO 10X FASTER WHY DO FIRMS NEED VELOX? Developer productivity is the negative energy holding back a firm’s desire to modernize, innovate and evolve. The lack of objective measures makes it frustratingly hard to detect, leading CIO’s to keep hiring or try radical new paradigms, like building an army of citizen developers out of their user community. Our hypothesis is the solution is already “in the building” and this untapped productivity can be unlocked with the right specialized development tools to address the problems at hand. Developers Are in Demand but Face Headwinds Tech debt has built up and budgets, talent are hard to find, while the demand for software grows. "Software has eaten the world" and now every business needs to become data-driven. Stop Wasting Time on Low-level Coding No more wrangling disconnected real-time and static data sources and API's, standing up scalable, testable, and supportable backends and finessing bespoke visual components. Start Building Differentiating Business Features Faster vCore equips professional development teams with specialized tools enabling them to unlock untapped productivity and build data-driven systems up to 10x faster. ABOUT US We are enabling software development teams in Capital Markets to build high-performance user-facing systems up to 10x faster. The Velox full-stack application development platform (vCore) provides professional developers with tools that amplify their expertise in Java and Web programming, allowing them to focus on building differentiating business functionality. vCore channels the founders’ decades of experience building Equities, FX, and Fixed Income electronic trading platforms at top-tier investment banks, to put developers in the sweet-spot of maximum acceleration with minimum limitation. Founded in 2018, Velox has 10 clients around the world, with offices in London, NY and Frankfurt and is funded by ETFS Capital CEO & Co-founder Jon Butler President & Co-founder Jason Yan CTO & Co-founder Govind Jajoo SOLVING FULL STACK BUSINESS PROBLEMS FASTER Unlike other developer productivity tools, vCore is for solving business problems, not technology problems. We achieve this with 3 proprietary elements Specialized full-stack adaptions of “low/no code” accelerators Low/No-Code tools do not work for high performance mission critical software. We have adapted some of the underlying techniques, such as model-driven development (MDD) and code generation to work in the high-performance space A custom web stack that can handle high performance loads A proprietary presentation layer that is combined with the MDD and code-gen accelerators to significantly reduce the amount of hand-crafted code required to stand-up responsive, professional looking UI’s. A proprietary streaming database and transactional engine For clarity we re-use SQL & datastream idioms but have little in common with an RDMS. The runtime API is code-gen’d and our “data-in-motion” paradigm, gives the developer up-to-date transactional and streaming data, when and where needed BY THE NUMBERS Velox CORE is designed to build user-facing systems that demand high-end performance across many dimensions. Here are some of the key statistics that demonstrate the non-functional operating window. 100MM rows in a Velox table 10K updates per seconds 100K concurrent browser sessions <0.5 seconds to pivot a 1MM row grid >100 grids in a single user session 10x faster than inhouse builds <100 lines of code to build an app. >250 simultaneous API’s and data sources BUSINESS PROBLEMS OUR CLIENTS SOLVE FASTER A strength of vCORE is its versatility, it is effective at accelerating any projects and also as a general-purpose tool for increasing the productivity of both large and small development teams.To-date our client use-cases fall into the following five categories: Maximize development team productivity Being data domain agnostic and full-stack, allows our clients to accelerate entire departments with one tool Accelerate full-stack front-office builds Gives the best of both worlds, BUY what's common while retaining the ability to BUILD what differentiates you Modernize front-office UI's in a web browser Modernize a local install trading client, without needing to retool with web tech skillsets Enable innovation in a legacy environment Enables interoperability between backend servers and provides a platform for building new solutions Maximize monetization of your rich data assets Centralizes data and API’s and accelerates the build of apps that aggregate, analyze & act on data THE TEAM Expert leadership team from both the IB technology field and vendors COO Alison Hood Alison has 30 years of global experience in technology business management and transformational change across the financial services industry Russell Barton In memory of Russell Barton, colleague, friend, and thoroughly decent chap who passed away in November 2021 Principal Software Engineer Xinchao Zhang Xinchao has extensive hands-on experience with designing and building global trading platforms. He started in UBS and moved on to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, working on the entire front-to-back stack of their core cash/portfolio OMS systems Strategic Advisor Steve Grob Steve has spent nearly his entire working career in capital markets with 15 years as director of group strategy at Fidessa Strategic Advisor Andrew Banhidi Andrew has over 30 years experience in the capital markets as CTO and senior technology executive at GS, BAML and Instinet STAY INFORMED ON ACCELERATING * indicates required Email Address * Company * VELOX IN THE NEWS Company updates, press coverage and events Article by Velox September 2023 REPORTING FROM THE A-TEAM EVENT ON BUY & BUILD I was invited recently to join a panel on UI/UX in Trading.

I was asked recently about the biggest challenge I faced during my 20+ years managing sales & trading technology in Capital Markets. My answer was managing the difference between the front office business demand for technological innovation, such as new systems and upgrades and the ability of the front office technology department to supply it, quickly and affordably. Read More Article by Velox 18 Oct 2023 MODERNIZE YOUR WAY TO A NEXT GENERATION TECHNOLOGY CAPABILITY It's obvious that after years of strain, the technology elastic has finally snapped at a lot of capital markets firms. The innovation and efficiency gains of modern tech vs last-generation builds are too great to ignore. Combine this with the agility required to navigate events over the past few years, and it's clear the industry can no longer ignore the risks of putting off the inevitable.

In addition, they are going to be required to provide services that they simply do not have the capability to perform currently.

Today we’ll look at the work vendors have done to drive client success and become a trusted partner. How have they been able to provide a stable, evolving technology offering for clients? Read More Article by Velox 19 Sep 2023 WHERE HAVE VENDORS HISTORICALLY BEEN LACKING? In this post, we’ll dive deeper into the root of some of those challenges and how they came to be. Have vendors sometimes painted themselves into a corner by “overpromising and underdelivering” as they juggle both client demands and the need to keep their own technology ahead of the competition? Read More Article by Velox 12 Sep 2023 CAP MKTS TECH IS AT A CROSSROADS It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 50 years since Instinet and NASDAQ first launched electronic order quoting and routing, and over 40 since Bloomberg first launched the Terminal.
