Buy-side and sell-side firms are steadily moving away from legacy platforms toward cloud-native, API-driven, AI-enabled operating environments. Research from WatersTechnology and OneTick reinforces this shift, highlighting growing demand for flexible access to both real-time and historical data across front-office functions.

Where this is heading is becoming increasingly clear:

• Standardized tech stacks built around RESTful APIs and cloud-based data formats
• Python-driven analytics establishing itself as the default for quant and data teams
• Platforms like Snowflake supporting high-performance data processing at scale

That said, the transition comes with real challenges. Cost, migration complexity, and vendor lock-in remain key concerns, even as the case for cloud continues to strengthen.

AI, meanwhile, is now firmly embedded in firms’ analytics strategies, particularly when it comes to surfacing insights and generating alpha. Its effectiveness, however, is entirely dependent on the quality of the underlying data.

This webinar explores these themes in depth, offering practical guidance on how firms can apply new technologies to strengthen their front-office operations.

The webinar will focus on:

• How cloud adoption is reshaping data management and analytics, including the shift toward APIs and cloud-native formats
• The role of real-time and historical market data in supporting trading and analytics across the business
• The practical realities of cloud migration: managing costs, transforming processes, and avoiding vendor lock-in
• How AI is influencing market data strategies—and why data quality is critical to producing reliable insights
