DECIDE OMS/EMS is multi-client capable and supports aggregation of order flows from own companies as well as from external or third-party institutions (retail & institutional, exchanges, OTC executions) in a single system.
Smart, customizable front office functions
Order entry and import are done on smart workstations based on thin client and/or HTML5 technology for professional trader front ends, and inter- faces (e.g. FIX, FIX/Fast, SWIFT) for trading/order routing systems.
Efficiency and automation in individual processes
Using automated rule-based management, DECIDE aligns precisely to existing transaction processes and systems, e.g. order validation based on customer and market conditions, order type per-missibility at execution venues, exception handling for managing manually processed flows, etc.
Innovative modules for advanced brokerage services
Flexible parametric custo-mization and complementary modules from DECIDE OMS/EMS enable you to secure and expand your competitive edge on the market against your competitors.
Minimize your order risks
Keep your status and positions in view in realtime with order flow monitoring and order risk management, exception handling, and realtime tracking of client and customer order volumes.
Expand digital strategies
Use DECIDE OMS/EMS to add attractive future facing digital services to your offering, like OMS/EMS realtime data and web services for online and mobile applications.
The OMS/EMS Cycle
High throughput for orders and transactions
DECIDE maps all processes in the OMS/EMS cycle, from order entry to post-trade services with the transfer of relevant data to risk management and clearing/settlement.
For order execution, regional as well as international market places are accessible. Access to other major trading platforms is provided via the leading order-routing networks (ECNs – Instinet, SGN, LSE Group/Refinitiv, Bloomberg, etc.) using a high-performance connection.
Further key benefits of OMS/EMS
- Flexible trading options
Give your customers a broad range of order types to enable precise execution management. In addition to basic types such as single- and multileg orders, combination, care orders as well as limit orders from order variants specific to the trading platform, e.g. stops, trailings, OCO, Iceberg, and individual variants for specific trading phases. - Cost efficiency based on standard software
Optimize your costs by using DECIDE’s standard software module. Modern order and execution processes are standardized across the industry. Use of centrally managed standard software cuts your change-the-bank and run-the-bank costs. - Conformity to regulations
DECIDE OMS/EMS helps you comply with regulatory requirements. DECIDE includes a suite of modules for compliance with MiFID II standards, flexibly parameterizable market conformity checks, and processes safeguarded by the four-eye principle. Audit trails enable times and details of changes to data in the system to be tracked at all times. - Proven architecture
OMS/EMS platforms are mission-critical systems for financial service providers. DECIDE is based on proven technology, delivering high performance and operational security, thanks to in-memory persistence technology. The hardware offers full redundancy at a minimum of two locations to ensure robust and secure operation and is fully scalable.
End-to-end process support
In pre-trade processing, order data are validated and information which is necessary for further processing at internal or exchange level is added. Validation is performed against DECIDE master data or, via an interface, against the institution’s external (host) data.
