I forrige post om anvendelse af Portman til afkastberegninger, tog vi udgangspunkt i to danske finansielle virksomheders omlægning til API’et for, at se på hvornår API’et repræsenterer et fordelagtigt alternativ – og hvornår det ikke gør. I denne post går vi i detaljerne med, hvordan API’et kan bruges og implementeres.
Portman er et porteføljestyringssystem. Fremadrettet ønsker Portman, at deres kunder skal anvende deres såkaldte Web API, hvor kunderne kan læse/skrive data direkte på Portmans database. Med afsæt i to danske finansielle virksomheder, tager denne business case udgangspunkt i omlægningen til API’et med eksempler på hvornår API’et repræsenterer et fordelagtigt alternativ, som organisationen kan drage fordel af – og hvornår det ikke gør, baseret på det eksisterende system set-up.

Over the last couple of days, I have posted on what I see as the likely effect of MiFIR on respectively the equity and bond markets. In this post, we will turn to the derivatives markets. These are the “true” OTC markets, and my prediction is, that this is where the impact of MiFIR will be felt the hardest. I see several factors combining to bring this about.
MiFID II/MiFIR is a broad regulatory complex, that influences a lot of activities within the banks. Currently, people within the financial sector across Europe are busy getting it right and delivered in time. In three editions, I can hopefully broaden the perspective of the consequences of MiFID within the next couple of years. In this series of posts, I will take my point of departure in three important markets: equity, bonds and derivatives.
A whole lot of people are currently very busy across the European financial sector getting ready for MiFID II/MiFIR for January 2018. It’s a broad regulatory complex, touching many aspects of the banks’ activities. I imagine that project owners and steering groups – not to mention the project managers and the many project participants – are focused on getting the many deliverables in place, getting the details right and fretting about the lack of legal clarity on important aspects.
All financial organizations are heavily dependent on IT systems. And in most cases, organizations have several systems, with a lot of connectivity, which create a large and complicated IT landscape.
