MATRIX APPLICATIONS 1
MATRIX APPLICATIONS 1

Matrix Applications (“Matrix”) was founded in 2000 as a New York-based fintech service bureau that offers a suite of collateral management, margining, and clearing systems for institutional fixed-income trading. Over the years, Matrix’s growing team of capital markets and systems professionals have delivered comprehensive financial technology solutions to institutional firms both big and small. Since day one, Matrix has worked hands-on with clients to identify an optimal mix of services to best fit their needs, from systems to back-office operations assistance. With in-house and off-shore developers, Matrix Applications provide clients with the right solution at the right price. Every day. Without fail.

Matrix Applications aims to simplify the trade life cycle process for customers by offering advanced technological and operational solutions for fixed income trading and equities securities lending. The firm’s goal is to minimize the associated pain points of high costs and high-touch trade life-cycle management by providing seamless post-trade straight-through-processing. Matrix’s systems are more economical than the two dominant technology providers in its space and the team’s passion for customer service is unparalleled. As an innovator in financial technology, Matrix Applications is constantly seeking new ways to improve its software and services. By keeping up with current trends and changes in the industry, the firm offers up-to-date solutions to clients. In fact, Matrix continually builds and improves its systems, typically releasing new versions once a month.

For the past few years, the Matrix team has been aggressive about moving to cutting-edge technology for its DevOps and SecOps. For example, the shift to container architecture, like Docker, radically improved the ability to control and automate “the factory process” of building and shipping code. Security is woven into the fabric of everything the team does today. Cyber threats seem to evolve on an exponential curve, requiring continuous learning and investment.

Matrix Applications is proud of the innovations to its systems, such as a shift to virtualized devices, advanced MFA, modern endpoint protection, robust redundancy, among others. These enhancements have allowed Matrix to remain on the cutting edge of its industry while still being nimble. The firm is able to adapt quickly to changing environments, as evidenced by the first days of the COVID-19 lockdown when Matrix easily adapted to an entirely remote environment overnight.

Matrix Applications aims to simplify the trade life cycle process for customers by offering advanced technological and operational solutions for fixed income trading and equities securities lending.

“At Matrix, innovation is one of our core values. We know the industry and we know what our customers want because we listen. We are always ready to adapt and innovate to improve our systems, services, and client experience. Unlike our competitors, our systems are built by those who use them, so we excel at giving the changes and adaptations they need quickly” says James Tabacchi, CEO, Matrix Applications.

Matrix Applications is constantly seeking new opportunities to expand its systems, services, partnerships, and business processes. New technologies and platforms have come to Wall Street which has challenged older, more established platforms. There is a need for a fresher, modern, and user-friendly interface for Matrix’s QTIX system with micro-services capabilities. Matrix is developing Next Generation (NG) deployments for the QTIX user interface to improve the user experience and create micro-services architecture to keep up with the changing marketplace. This upgrade will usher in a new era of fixed income trade lifecycle servicing to its clients. Matrix is also expanding into equities, particularly in the securities lending space. In summary, the firm is committed to prioritizing and investing in research efforts to improve its technology systems and processes.

About QTIX:

The new QTIX is a fixed income platform that offers a cohesive front-to-back-office solution for institutional trade processing and differs from other solutions due to its unique modular nature and customization capabilities.

This straightforward and cost-effective margin workflow platform ensures firms comply with all regulations while keeping the user experience simple.
