Description Welcome to the IBM Tech Talks Series! Every month we invite start-ups to discuss innovative technologies, methods, and how they are disrupting existing business models with the start-up community. Come join our December 5th session featuring Thesys Technologies, ForwardLane, and Surfly. The theme of this event will focus on challenges start-ups face partnering with large corporations. About the Companies? Thesys Technologies (Featured Speaker: Anshul Anand, Sr.VP of Business Development) Founded in 2009, Thesys is a high performance trading technology provider, focused on delivering low latency and compliance technology to financial market participants. They began by building trading APIs for electronic traders in order to democratize the field of financial technology. These platforms were engineered for maximal speed and enabled them to become early pioneers in low latency trading techniques. Next, Thesys turned to surveillance technology launching the world’s fastest software-based risk check platform to constrain the dangers of runaway trading algorithms, in addition to foraying into exchange technologies. Today, Thesys’ proprietary technology includes pre- and post-trade surveillance tools, low latency trading platforms, matching engines, and big data applications, such as those developed for the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) project for the SEC. ForwardLane (Featured Speaker: Nathan Stevenson, CEO) ForwardLane is a B2B applied artificial intelligence company that supercharges digital advisory and distribution in private wealth management, asset management, and insurance. By synthesizing the collective intelligence of the firm with quantitative insights and market intelligence, client-facing professionals get instant, personalized stories for their clients. The Q&A expert system gives analyst-level insights and sees trending themes across the workforce with real-time analytics. Designed by a multidisciplinary team of quants, AI PhDs and leading financial services engineers, ForwardLane’s proprietary intelligence layer invisibly integrates with existing firm infrastructure bringing dramatic productivity gains and ambient intelligence to the daily workflow. Their platform transforms the digital client experience with personalized investment insights and expert conversation. Surfly (Featured Speaker: Tariq Valente, Head of Business Development) Surfly is a web sharing service that enables remote collaboration by showing others what you see in your web browser. Where other solutions need software or configuration, Surfly just works on any website. And thanks to our advanced approach, the quality of your session reflects the original website, unlike the blurry text that can result from screen sharing. Surfly can be used as a stand-alone co-browsing tool and it can be integrated into other products, such as chat solutions, to deliver a great online experience for customers and prospects communicating remotely.
