Market Debate: OMS vs EMS - A Best-of-Breed Strategy
Execution management systems started to appear several years ago to accomplish the tasks that order management systems were not designed to cover. EMS providers have developed 2 way FIX connections with OMS's to create integrated solutions. This provides the buy side trader with the freedom and flexibility to mix and match offerings to create a best-of-breed platform. We will solicit the opinions of our panelists representing the buy side, sell side and consultant communities.
