Trading Technologies, or TT as the company is known to industry insiders, has been making the tools that the world’s premier traders trust to maintain their competitive edge for more than 20 years. For several years now, CTO turned CEO, Rick Lane, has lead the FinTech software giant on a mission to rehaul their technology stack and usher in a new era of speed and performance in trading applications.
Faced with the challenges of introducing new technology to a historically change-averse industry, Rick shares a few of the lessons he has learned along the way. Cliffs notes versions of some of those lessons include:
- The importance of striking a balance between wanting to innovate and iterate often while still being sensitive to the needs and wants of the customer-base.
- The realization that familiarity and pattern recognition is as important to financial SaaS platforms as innovation is.
- The need to provide ample ongoing education to your customers.
