There have been numerous significant technology advances and changes over the last decade from the increasing prominence of Software as a Service (SaaS) to the growth of social media. In the trading and risk management area, however, we appear to continue to be constrained by older technologies and the adoption of new technologies has seemed to lag (for a number of reasons) the wider markets. While SaaS, .Net and Java have become more widely adopted in E/CTRM software, the market appears to be at least 5 to 10-years behind other analogous segments, such as financial trading.
