Recorded Webinar: The future of the desktop – optimising the user experience
Trader desktop solutions have advanced rapidly over the past few years, driven by new technology approaches, rising volumes and different types of data, interoperability, demand for ease of use, and the coronavirus pandemic that called for a desktop review as working from home became mainstream and later transitioned to hybrid working.
Next generation desktops will embrace these themes and focus on further development in areas such as AI-powered data discovery, smarter interoperability, speed, and the provision of contextual data. They will also aim to optimise the user experience, although this won’t be easy as users look for greater customisation and competitive edge in a challenging market.
This webinar will discuss the future of the desktop, changing trader requirements, and approaches vendors will take to optimise the user experience.
Register for the webinar to find out more about:
- State of the art desktop solutions
- Changing trader requirements
- Responding vendor developments
- How the user experience will be optimised
- Key technologies, tools and techniques
