A message from Howard Boville, Global Head of Trading Communications, Global Banking and Financial Markets, BT.
"Welcome to the first edition of The Future Delivered the BT newsletter which shares news and commentary on trading communications.
"Much will continue to be written about the cause and effects of the recent financial crisis. But the trading room remains the focus of capital allocation and investment for the industry and investors alike. It is here to stay, and I believe it will go from strength to strength in the next few years.
"Recent developments have seen the huge growth of electronic trading, but the human feel, the 'colour' of the market, used in voice and other 'high-touch' trading methods is nevertheless making a bold resurgence, particularly in high value instruments. New information and communication channels that are seamlessly integrated and delivered directly at speed to the desktop will generate greater trader productivity and the 'alpha' returns that are central to success. BT will remain at the forefront of the technology innovation that will drive change and growth over coming years."
