Microservices: An à la carte approach to collateral management solutions

Featured in the Securities Lending Times Collateral Annual 2019-20

The demand for collateral management tools has grown exponentially over the past decade. More recently, small and medium-sized buy-side and sell-side participants have joined the party courtesy of the additional BCBS/IOSCO UMR phases, which have broadened the audience for collateral management systems. Without a budget in the millions, these system buyers need access to simpler, cost-effective solutions, but they also need to be able to adapt to meet future changes and they need scalability.

In this article for Securities Lending Times Alan Sheehan, Director Product Management for Calypso, explains the value of combining microservice solutions with seamless integration to core platforms for an on-demand consumption model that can scale dynamically and upgrade frequently.
