The rundown

Morgan Stanley was struggling to display real time trade data in a timely manner and complicated infrastructure changes inhibited their ability to produce comprehensive weekly reports for the senior management. As a result, dashboards would take more than 30 minutes to update and automated report generation stopped working all together. Creating reports manually was too time consuming to consider on a weekly basis. They needed a dashboard that could display larger amounts of data in a chart and a reporting tool flexible enough to adapt to their complex IT infrastructure.

Solution

3Forge AMI allows Morgan Stanley to display millions of data points in a single chart. Users can zoom in and the resolution is increased in a similar fashion to Google maps. In addition, because of the custom configurability of the data integration layer, all reporting was changed to 3Forge as well. Thanks to the performance and flexibility of 3Forge AMI, Morgan Stanley supplies their traders with real time dashboards for all of their customer's orders. In addition, aggregated reports are produced in the same dashboards. Now Morgan Stanley also uses 3Forge AMI as one-stop-shop for all reporting and dashboarding for trade latencies.

The AMI difference

3Forge AMI has helped Morgan Stanley to identify and fix issues that increased latencies at certain times. Once the full set of data was displayed in a single chart, the pattern was recognized and led to a successful investigation of the cause. This has happened several times. In addition, the tool has also allowed Morgan Stanley to rapidly respond to customer concerns about trade issues, such as stuck orders, and Morgan Stanley exceeded their expectations around transparency. Their goal to provide latency statistics to their trade managers and customers is now a reality. As a result, Morgan Stanley is able to maintain their position as the fastest trading platform on the street.
