Instilling Front-Office Confidence with Your OEMS | SS&C Eze

Written by Jordan Daub | Sep, 25 2024

The lessons of the last fifteen years show us that as markets evolve, technology must evolve with them.

In the past, investment firms mainly relied on two distinct front-office technologies: the OMS and the EMS. Technology vendors developed these solutions to give users robust features and functionality to support their roles.

But no matter how well these technologies supported their specific functions, neither provided users with insight into what was happening beyond their screen in other parts of the firm. Without this insight, users lacked confidence in how their orders were processed or where the firm stood at any given time.

That's where the unified OEMS comes in.  

In this post, I examine how the front-office confidence instilled by a unified OEMS impacts an investment firm's employees and operations.

The OEMS: A Unified Investment Technology to Confidently Manage Investment Firm Operations

Too slow and often prone to errors, “swiveling” between an OMS and EMS meant firms could not keep up with demands for speed, accuracy, and compliance created by market forces and regulations.

That’s why investment firms began to move away from these siloed systems in favor of the OEMS.

The unified OEMS brings together a firm’s entire front office, as well as enhances visibility across teams and the accuracy of downstream operations. In this unified system, each user has more holistic insight into what is happening at any given time.
