For financial managers, data can be both a blessing and a curse: on the one hand, we need data to improve our strategy; on the other, we have to somehow collect, process, and manage it. Thankfully, Event Stream Processing (ESP) software can help us process the flow of data and make it work for us....
It is, perhaps, the biggest catch that comes with all financial software, but you’ll need to maintain it if you wish to ensure it always runs at optimum efficiency… Now, you may choose to do all that development and maintenance in-house, though that is often pricier than paying a licence fee for an enterprise solution....
