Barclays Capital Achieves Guaranteed Reliability and Performance With New Fixed-Income Solution

Overview Barclays Capital is one of the stellar success stories in investment banking of recent years. The firm's projected growth plan required the bank to review its existing fixed-income trading system, to see how it could handle an increasing amount of trading volume. After close consultation with Microsoft Services, Barclays Capital decided to update its existing Trade Management System (TMS) system with a solution based on Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The new system is designed to process the increased volumes with a much more predictable latency. The Trade And Positioning System (TAPS) solution based on SQL Server 2005 minimises the latency between trade capture and risk updating.
