| Markets in Financial
Instruments Directive (MiFID) is a significant legislation
passed by the European Financial Services Industry to integrate
the securities market in Europe. The directive, which comes
into effect from November 2007, promises to transform the
securities market landscape in Europe.
As the compliance exercise will result in considerable
amendments to business rules and IT processes, investment
firms have begun to look at MiFID as a driver of change
rather than as a mere compliance activity.
Technology may be outside the curve of MiFID implications,
but a lack of clarity and awareness is making it difficult
to initiate any MiFID-related assignments. And, since MiFID
involves re-visiting the business models and strategic goals
of any enterprise, the preparation for MiFID compliance
is bound to be more complex.
i-flex solutions, an acknowledged leader with deep domain
expertise in providing IT solutions to the financial services
industry, is the ideal partner for firms grappling with
the complex nature of MiFID.
